[Date: April Fools Day] [Location:
Okura Forest, Long Bay Marine Reserve] [Elation:
Nice Scenary] [Deflation: Long Boring Journey]
OKURA FOREST RESERVE
The bus left school at about 9am...It was a rather long and boring
journey...and I'm still wondering why my Discman wasn't working... We arrived
at the destination at about 9.35 am....the two bus loads were divided into
8 different groups..I was in Group 8...we started off with Task 3-Line Transects...we
collected samples of different species from 3 points on a 25m line transect....It
wasn't fun as we had to carefully climb down the slope...it was slippery too...next
we had to identify different plants in the different layers like the canopy,
subcanopy...etc..That was really boring to me...but snapping photos was fun..especially
when we got to the Bridge...the Mud creatures were funny...and the rod-like
plants too..and then it was time to leave for Long Bay..

LONG BAY
Long Bay....hmm...to me it looked exactly like Eastern
Beach...sand, sea shells, weird smell, rock pools...anyway..it was a great
place...nice scenary and the beach was very long indeed..for a start we went
to the information centre...unfortunately i forgot to take a photo of that
place....after that it was lunch time....then we had to collect sea shells
and draw them and also record the population of the Tua Tua...Finally, we
collected more information from the South Rock Pools which was a bit of fun...the
landscape was awesome....but damn it was hot...at 2.30pm we were off....back
to school...an end to a boring yet fun day...
