 * __Day 1__**

After a 2hr bus trip, we arrived at the Wambana site. Wambana is site that contains 6 cabins. The cabins are actually quite nice and all have excellent views of the ocean. My Wardli includes Lucia, Charlotte, Yin Yin, Stella, and Erin whom I share a room with. After settling in and unpacking we had chill out time. Chill out time is 1hr in a special spot, mine is number 25, to rexal, read, sleep, draw, or reflect on the days activities. Todays chill out was a bit boring as we had nothing to reflect on, but the fact that I had to move every minute because of the constant movement of the sun, kept me entertained. After this we had a great barbecue dinner. One day down, 18 still to go...

Love, Sara xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

P.S. Mum, Dad, Nick, no embarrassing posts!!!!

**__Day 2__**

Today we woke up at 6:45am and then went and played a game of dodgeball, red rover, and base 50 50, it was really fun and a great way to start the day. After this we had breakfast and then we came to the classroom to start our meal planning and to create a shopping list. We then went to the shops and bought bags and bags of shopping. When we got home had lunch and then went to the beach. The beach was amazing but the water was cold so I didn't go for a swim. We came home and made Gran's cookies. Two days down, 17 still to go...

Miss you all, Love you, Sara xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

P.S. Mum, Dad, Nick, I am not allowed to see my inbox so I can't see the message it says you sent.


 * __Day 3__ **

Today we went for a 3.4km run in the morning. I came first with a time around 19 mins. Then we went for a big long bus trip to Moonta yaaaaayyyyy. Moonta was just the same as always but it was good to be familiar with my surroundings. We went to the farming museum which was a bit boring. The temperature was a boiling 28ºC. The night was soo warm that we went for a walk to the jetty. Three days down, 16 still to go... Love, Sara xxxxx

**__Day 4__**

Today we went snorkelling which was fun but soooooo cold, even with winter wet suits and the amazing looking hoods, not. There wasn't much to see, lots of spiral shark eggs, but nothing compared to Fiji and Phuket. After this we went to the wind farm to do some research for our science project. The weather was cold and wet so we didn't do too much outside stuff. Four days down, 15 still to go... Love, Sara xxxx

**__Day 5__**

Today we went for a run and I came first again with a time of 17min 39secs. We then did heaps of class work and had a Pizza Night for dinner. Five days down, 14 still to go... Love, Sara xxxx

__**Day 6**__

Today we went snorkelling off the Point Turton jetty. Tahlia and I were buddies. We were swimming along and looked down and there, on the bottom in the sand looking at us, was this big shark thing called a Banjo Shark, we were so scared and swam as fast as we could. To get to the beach we had dodge these massive jelly fish, which had big crosses on there tops, and try not to get eaten by the shark. The shark had the head of a sting ray and the tail of a shark it was about 1 and a half long and very scary. Six days down, 13 still to go... Still alive with all limbs, Love, Sara xxxxx

**__Day 7__**

Today we went snorkelling again and I was very scared that shark would come and eat me. No sharks but lots of baby fish in "Annies Nursery". The bus was very sandy on the way to the next snorkelling spot called "Treasure Cove". Here we saw a box fish, a flat fish and some people saw two sting rays. Seven days down, 12 still to go...

__**Day 8**__

Today we went to Hardwicke Bay to do some weeding!!! Yah!!!! Lots of cute old people and LOTS of weeds. Wilderness has our own garden there. When we got back to Wambana we found lots of weeds that were purposefully planted in our garden beds outside our Wardlis, eeekk!! We then did some english work, writing a story about the Yorke Peninsula. The weather was wet and cold, but this made it easy to pull the weeds out. Eight days down, 11 still to go... Love, Sara xxxxxxxxxx

__**Day 9**__

Today we went to Point Pearce Aboriginal School and played with the little kids. They are aged 4 - 8yrs. Lucia, Yin Yin and I were grouped with a cute little girl called Alearah. She was very cute but also very violent and her attempt to break my right index finger was very nearly successful. Driving through the community was very sad and it made me "realise" how privileged we are. For dinner we had roast lamb that was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The nanas didn't trust us to carve it so they did it. Nine days down, 10 still to go (nearly half way there)!!! Love you and missing you all, Sara xxxxxx

Day 10

Today we went to Innes National Park to weed and we then stayed the night. We had spaghetti for dinner. Setting up our tents was fun. Our camp site was in Innes and was called Shell Beach Camping Ground. Shell Beach was amazing the beach was beautiful and between this beach and the neighbouring beach were these amazing rock pools and rocks, which had holes in them so every time a wave came water would shoot out. Ten days down, 9 still to go!!! Love, Sara xxxx

Day 11

Today we came home from Innes and had showers (only 3 minutes but still a shower)!!! We lost some picks in the shrubs so we had to do more weeding at one of the nanas house to make up for the time lost. We then went to the bowls club and played bowls fun!!!! (We were given a can of soft drink afterwards, so smiles all round). When we came home we did yoga but most people just fell asleep and snored!!!! hehe. It was really relaxing but the incense that the instructor was burning made me sneeze. Eleven days down, 8 to go. Love, Sara xxx

Day 12

Today we did lots of work. I worked on drama and french. After this we did tournament of the minds where we had to produce a play about a town that was trying to expand into another towns land, we had to display the pro and cons and come up with a solution. It was really fun but we lost. Twelve days down, 7 to go !!! Love you all, Sara xxxx

Day 13

Today we did more work and went food shopping. I did heaps of maths work which feels good but I still have lots of other work to do. We went food shopping for the last time which was sad but we bought heaps of junk!!! hehe. Thirteen days down, 6 to go !!! Love you all, Sara xxxxxx

Day 14

Today we slept in till 10 yaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!! Ms Dudley (my science teacher) came down yesterday which was really good. We started work on our mosaic today, ours is a jetty scene. We then did some science work which is a massive assignment!!!!! We are doing ours about marine parks :/. Fourteen days down, 5 to go!! Missing you all, Sara xxxxx

Day 16

Today we went surfing and it was so much fun. The waves were very big and scary. I stood up lots of times but got dunked even more (not fun). We are going surfing all day tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it. Our Wardli is starting to ration our food as we are running out but we will work it out. We did some more work this morning and there is no way that I will finish all this work by the end of Realise. Sixteen days down, 3 to go!!!! Missing you lots, Love Sara xxxxxxx
