My SL Australia Study Visit : Day 3~4 - Birrigai & Australian Outback (6-7th of June 2007)

Music: Lead – Drive Alive

At Birrigai, the temperature was the coldest. ☆

At about 1~2 Degrees Celsius. 寒い!!!

There were also wild Kangaroos bouncing around.

We stayed in bunks and had dinner in the canteen.

At the canteen,

we noticed that there lower primary Australian students were also having dinner with us.

They were all really cute and well-behaved.

きゃあ!とてもかわいいです!(´∀｀*)

かおわあかいに～

I waved to one boy and three of his friends and he kept laughing and looking back at us.

Hah hah : D　うわ！かわいい！！！

After our dinner,

we went to the theatre room to watch a touching Australian film based on a true story called the Rabbit Proof Fence.

This film is truly touching and it has also taught me many life-learning points that I can learn and imply from.

After our reflection,

we went back to the canteen to have some muffins and hot chocolate drinks before we slept. ❤

The next day,

our guild has brought and shown us some indigenous hunting weapons and items such as boomerangs and knifes which are all made from various types of wood and different types of paintings on it.

Then he led us on our hiking trip at the Australia Outback.

Really cold and windy ~

I wore seven tops, one sweater and winter jacket and two long pants.

(σ*ゝω･)σ

There are some steep slope and Kangaroos’ droppings everywhere.

Firstly,

our guide brought us to look at the Birrigai Rockshelter at the Australian Outback.

This rockshelter is really old and scientists found pieces of stone, bone, shell and charcoal left by the Aboriginal people who camped in this shelter at least 21,000 years ago. This rockshelter has proven that the Aboriginal people had camped on it and lived through the Ice Age.

We attempted to crawl through the cave to the other side and continued to walk a few distance before reaching the upper part of the Australian Outback.

The space to crawl out of the cave was really, really small.

Hah hah : D

The sceneries were beautiful and spectacular, and the air was refreshing. I took many photos of the mountainous sceneries and photos with my friends.

I also got a chance to snap some photos of Kangaroos and Emus.

The Kangaroos and Emus were afraid of us and outsiders and started running away when we were near them.

We also saw some cows.

We continued our hike till we reached our destination, the Australian Outback centre!

We watched a cool performance by an Aboriginal man who was playing an indigenous wind instrument called the Didgeridoo.

After watching the performance,

we got some time to shop at the souvenir shop.

Bought some souvenirs for my family and friends and it was time to head back to Birrigai centre.

While we were having our lunch at the canteen,

some Emus were feeding on the grass outside.

Chance to snap some closeup photos of emus.

Heh heh : D

After our lunch,

we waved goodbye to the cute lower primary Australian students and our guide.

We took a group photo at the entrance of Birrigai centre together with our guide and we were off to Canberra! ☆
