Heya, it is Tahi again; just bringing you all up to speed on what I have been doing for the first two exciting terms of K.E.F.L (Kimberley Education for Life).
Terms one and two have carried an abundance of exciting and memorable events for all the K.E.F.L students to experience, starting with our one-week excursion to the Gibb River Station. Our week consisted of many different and unique events, all of which were completely new to me… yet, none the less enjoyable. We started the week by dismantling and re-building fences; a hot and sweaty job, but, it is always rewarded with the feeling of accomplishment and a nice comfortable bed to return home to. Fencing was the main job for the week, although, on the way home from a relaxing swim at the Gibb River, we stumbled across a very large Goanna lizard. I did not realise that they were such good eating, that was, until Alex and Peter darted out of the car with a hunting knife and an axe. The Goanna was chased up a dead tree and met its life’s end. We were all hungry from the thought of the Goanna, so we returned home to the Beef that we had acquired from the day before, the meat from the killer. The killer was taken from out in the bush, and took roughly 45 minutes to skin and part meat from guts and bone. The meat was very lovely, although, next time it would be best to cook the ribs properly… The cow was still mooing.
Even just this week we have been on a trip to Lake Argyle, to paddle 23 kilometres up to Coolamon Creek (A total of 34 Kilometres in total). It was a very fun experience, one that I have already experienced twice now. It was hot, but it was nothing that a few well-timed splashes can’t fix. The night was then spent at Maka’s camp, where we had dinner and lunch around a campfire.
It has been a great two-terms.
