After the 3 hour trip from hawkers road to pt turton, we all had a lunch break and unpacked our bags from the bus. (the view from the wadlis onto the ocean is amazing!) Then we went through an introduction to the site, and learnt all the rules about living at Wambana! The groups for the wadlis were then found out!! Me, Esther, Chloe, Sarah and Lily are all in Wadli 2, thats when the excitement kicked in!! We all then had free time to unpack and settle in to our house that we would then live in for 3 weeks. After that we had chill out which is when you choose a spot around Wambana and have an hour to yourself to either write in a journal, read a book or even sleep!! Then we had a BBQ for dinner, which Kim and Em supplied, but then tomorrow we go shopping for our own food :) Each day we have to record the amount of electricity and water we use in that day, somehow we had already used more than everyone else and we hadn't even turned on a light!! :D We also got to meet the Nanna's Jan and Sherl, and they are really nice :) It has only been half a day and i'm already tired!! can't wait for tomorrow!!!
 * Day 1:**

Today we had a 7:00am wake up and went outside for some activities :) we played.. castles, redrover and base 50/50 :) Then had breakfast, which Kim, Em and Juls supplied (toast and cereal) Then we had a quick brief on shopping in Yorktown, which was good :) then we decided what food we needed. Our budget was $200 and we only spent $186 :) not much to eat for snacks though... ahaha After we had lunch and unpacked all our food, we headed down to the beach when we were meant to be doing school :P which was good !!! Then we had free time, where we did some cleaning of our wadli. Chill out was really good, although we got swooped by birds!!! We had taccos for dinner, which was really good :)
 * Day 2:**

Today we went to Kadina to look at a museum!! hahaha we were there most of the day and we stopped to have lunch in a near by park, those seagulls... Then we had free time and chill out, and that was really good :) We had butter chicken for dinner as well, which was so AMAZING!! good job sarah :) When we headed to bed we were going to close the blinds on our window and there was a WOPING great big spider sitting there!! it was sooo scary, it was just lurking!!! seedy spider ;) And the couch that we had on our porch got taken away from us because we didn't have our lights off at 10:00pm :/ oppps, now wadli 4 has it :'( Last night we also went for a walk to the jetty and that was good :)
 * Day 3:**

We went snorkelling today and that was sooo good :) we held a shark egg and saw lots of zebra fish. It was a little bit cold towards the end but it was all worth it, i only swallowed a couple litres of sea water!! Then when we had chill out time it was raining a bit but I had my sleeping bag!! For dinner we had chicken soup and it was really good thanks to Chloe !! :) And after we have finished blogging we will watch the SIMPSONS MOVIE!!!!
 * Day 4:**

Havent blogged in 3 days because we have been non stop busy!! Today we went snorkelling and i swear we almost died!! ahah (nah we didnt) but the waves dunked me a few times!!! Funny thing.. Esther was making a cake and got a little bit distracted.. and well... melted the butter in the microwave without putting it in a bowel first!!! hahahaha funnniiii times :) have to go and gave quiz night now!! gonna win our couch back!!
 * Day 7:**

Today we went to Hardwicke Bay to help the locals with their weeding :) it was surprisingly fun!! we pulled out about 5 trailer loads of weeds in about 4 hours!! We had lunch supplied and it was so good and I ate sooooooo much! (5 WHOLE sandwiches, 2 ice-creams and a piece of a yeast bun!) Quiz night didn't go well, we lost every round except for one!! so that meant we got to choose the subject, and the couch wasn't even the prize :( oh well. The war between our wadli and the teachers wadli is still on, but now the nanna's are taking the stool as well!! not cool guys! but in the end we will get it back! it was so cold today that we had to have chill out inside! I fell asleep after about 15 mins and when it was time to leave I didn't wake, so Kim threw an eraser at me!! (child abuse!!) ahah jokes! We also had a roast for dinner, the meat was SOOOO good, and the pumpkin and potatoes were a bit hard, but they still tasted good. Then our wadli decided to take raspberry cordial shots (esther and sarah drank a half a cup)!!.. well now we are buzzing!!
 * Day 8:**

Today we went to //Point Pearce Aboriginal School// and visited the kids there :) they are all so adorable!! I met the cutest little girl called Ali and she was in reception!! then i became friends with this little boy called Johnny and he drew on a scrapbook for me! and it was so cute :) Then when we came back it was free time then chill out, chill out was the coldest EVER!!! i was buried into my sleeping bag!! ahahha After that we had schnitzel and Lily and didn't manage to kill anyone!! yay us :) and tomorrow we are going to innes national park for an over night stay and some community work :D hopefully it isn't too cold :)
