Sydney!!

I have just spent 5 fabulous days in Sydney with my sisters and cousins (all girls), so that we could celebrate my Auntie's 80th birthday. This event happened kind of in memory of my Mum who would have turned 80 in November as well.
I did most of the driving in a wicked-as car, a Toyota Aurion. We talked a lot, sang songs together, and ate heaps of food!

The 'white house' belongs to my Auntie, and is right on the waterfront - it's gorgeous!

This was certainly a weekend to remember, and we even got to see the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Whaea Jane

Split Apple Rock

On Friday we went to Split Apple Rock. We dammed up a small stream. It was really fun. We made about four walls to try and save the Lyttleton family (which were sticks) and their house was a big clump of sand. The amount of water that burst out was huge. We went to the caves onthe other side of the beach. On the way we saw a half dead baracuta stuck under a rock but it wouldn't live long because a hungry looking seagull landed right next to it.

As we left Ancorage, thinking that it would be a hour and a half walk, it ended up being a half an hour walk as we skipped the hill and walked across the Torrant Bay estery. We finilly arivied at Torrant bay as we waited for the water taxi to pick us up. As we hoped on the water taxi we bonced up and down as we came to a sudden hult to find four little blue penguins swimming in the water, looking for food. Then we made it to Marahau.

Art gallery

At camp, we had a activity day, which was wicked!
One of the activity's was biking down the road to the art gallery!!!
My favorite sculpture was maui fishing up the north island!!
I'm sure lots of people liked that art gallery.

Beach walk

We arived at Marahau eager to look around and that night we set of on a beatiful beach walk.

The Great almighty walk!

We enjoyed ourselves loads on camp and the great almighty walk made it shine even more. We went on a long, long, long bridge over the estuary, and trudged through the beautiful native bush. Stopping at a nice clearing along the way for lunchwas a relief! Mmm, mmm, our lunches were deliciosly nice and enjoying it left us in a good mood for the rest of the walk.

walk to anochorage

On Tuesday the 18th of november the mahana seniors went on a five hour walk to Anchorage from marahau.
