Well I read all my notes that I'd left behind and they were so nicely written but this is what I think I missed out from the blog.
- The 110 year old house we saw on the way to the project was morved from it's original location in Bridges to Yandina where it is now. It sells local crafts, jams and pickles etc and Cameron bought a jar of Hot curry chutney which we ate with crisps and was beaut!!
- Forgot to mention the Toyota hats and water bottles we were given. We have to cover up when on location - hats, trousers, long sleeved tops and make sure we have our sun block on and insect repellent - it's like being kids again.
Tuesday
As Monday was spent travelling and when we arrived - no-one was expecting us so we didn't do any work on Monday.
Tuesday I had a good night's sleep as I managed to secure the one bedroom in the cabin while the others were in bunk beds or on the sofa. I was up early and wandered around the grounds at the cabin with my cuppa and watched a couple of roos in the field.
By the time we'd had breakfast and made our packed lunches it was 9.30 before we set out for our 1st days 'real' work. Cameron gave us a brief overview of the do's and don'ts then we set about clearing the weeds so that you could see through the forest.
At 11.30 we took a half hour break then we worked till 1.30 and back to camp - it sure is hard work being a volunteer. Had a laze about for an hour and then off to Maryborough to the local sights ( or the internet in my case)
Back at the house the Japanes contingent cooked beef teryaki for tea which was pretty good considering the limited kitchen space we have.
Wednesday No hot water this morning and went to work looking a wreck. We cleared loads today - I can't believe how high these 'weeds' have grown but we all had a great sense of satisfaction.
Went to Queens Park for a BBQ lunch but couldn't find the barbie so went back to camp for bacon and eggs instead.
I have to log off at this point as my time is up on the internet at the library
