But we got there and we're excited to hear we had a different job awaiting us today!! The morning began with park worker Gary demonstrating a possum plucking - not so nice in broad daylight. We then went on as a group, around the corner, and spotted a vast heap of wood. Our job for the morning would be to separate the wood that could be used for fires, from the mud, dirt, bark, chips and scraps. Looking like a simple task, we set out in groups, challenging speed and skill to move as many pieces as possible in a given time frame. Soon however the aching arms kicked in and everyone was lagging. The assembly lines fell apart leading to individual work and a wheelbarrow, heaving stuck stumps out of the mud. It took a couple of hours and we shifted the pile. It felt like we had physically moved Everest by hand, until we looked to our right, and saw a pile 5X the size, making us feel like weaklings.
Lunch was a nice break at the beach, and a few team games to wake everyone up and raise spirits, and warm up running around.
Afternoon however - yet again, planting, need I saw more.
Macaroni cheese for dinner, and a jam in music terms using panflutes created by Mark using Himalayan Honeysuckle, a nice yak (chat, not the animal!) bed!
