First Post (17/10/11)
We arrived at Wambana at about 12:00PM. After dropping off our bags, we went for a tour of the site. We then went to the classroom where we went through the rules and found out our Wardlis. Wardli 4 is me, Sara, Charlotte, Lucia, Stella and Yinyin, and I'm sharing a room with Sara. We unpacked and worked out our chore roster and rules. After a bit of free time and more unpacking, we had our first chill out time. My spot is really nice, but I got swooped by a magpie the whole time! Straight after chill out we had a group barbecue dinner with salad and cordial. After going back to our Wardlis to wash our dishes and a quick visit from the Nannas, we went back down to the classroom to type these posts. So far, I'm having a great time. Please leave a message, but no embarrassing ones! (I'm looking at YOU, dad!)

see you in three weeks! Erin

P.S. I will post some pictures soon

Today was really cold, but we went snorkelling and the water was freezing! we saw a few starfish and I had a photo with a port jackson shark egg. It started raining a bit, and we went to wattle point wind farm to look at the wind turbines. We did some science homework after lunch. I did some piano practise in free time, and thanks to chill out time I've already almost finished one book. We had butter chicken for dinner, and we are going to have jelly for desert. We are just about to watch the Simpsons Movie before going to bed.

See you all soon! Erin

Hi! Sorry I haven't replied to posts in a while, the internet was off for a few days. Everything's been great here! I promised some pictures, so, because it takes WAAAAAAAY too long to upload all my photos, I thought I'd just upload one, if not to just to prove to my dad that I do actually know how to do it: Wambana - The Wardlis to the right, and 'Hotel Hilton' (aka communal eating, barbecuing, and wood oven area) to the left.

Anyway, we went on our last shopping trip today, as well as playing in the Yorketown playground (It was one of the best playgrounds I have ever seen!) t he locals found it quite funny, and they were actually taking pictures of Em and Kim on the see-saw! We came back to do some more school work, and Charlotte and I cooked barbecue for dinner.

See you all soon! Erin

Fourth Post (30/10/11)
This is the first time I've posted two days in a row! Yay! Anyway, today we got the special treat of having to be ready at 10:00, which is an hour longer than we usually get on Sundays. We spent most of the morning talking about issues with the environment (with lollies as an incentive). After lunch, we started on our group mosaic, which is the Jetty only a few kilometers away from Wambana. I made tortillas for dinner, which turned out really well. I'm getting scared about homework, we don't have much time left! I'll finish with a picture: These are the rocks at Shell Beach in Innes National Park

only five days left! Erin

Fifth Post: 1/11/11
Hi! Today was great! We spent the first part of the day doing homework, continuing on our mosaic and making fascinators for the Melbourne cup (which we will be wearing to bingo night tomorrow). After lunch, Ms Cochrane arrived and we went surfing, which was soooo much fun! I made dinner (fried rice) and then did some yoga. I'm still a bit worried about homework, but I think I'll get it all done. another photo: The view from the rocks at Shell Beach, Innes National Park only three more days! Erin
