On Friday the 10th of November, Year Four and Three went on an excursion to Fitzroy Falls on the Bigga bus. 

The classes got split into two groups, Year Four and Year Three. Year Four got to go on a walk around the park with Deidre while Year Three got to see the weapons that Aboriginals used to use.

On the walk, we got to learn about bush tucker and medicine, we also got to learn about termite mounds and that goannas lay their eggs in active mounds.

After we finished the walk, Year Four and Year Three swapped activities. When we got back from the walk, Brendan showed us a lot of cool weapons and kangaroo fur coats.

After he showed us the tools and coats, he put out  two bits of Mangi branch on each bench, one was smaller than the other. He put them out so we would have the chance to make fire.  

While we were doing that, Brendan got out some Ochre so that he could paint us. After that we got to pat a bird. We did not know what bird it was so we asked Brendan. He said that it might have been sick

At the end everyone sat down to say thank you Brendan and Deidre.

On the way back I thought, “I AM DEFINITELY ASKING MUM AND DAD TO TAKE ME THERE AGAIN.”
