Callagans Ridge

Callaghans Ridge

Yesterday we came to school in mufti. When Dakota got to school she
gathered a bunch of yellow rope and a blue tarpaulin. Jennae, Jack
Wairini and I went in Miss Kemp's car. 

To get to Callaghan's Ridge we went through Kumara.
Then we went down a road that was just before Dillman's town.
When we got there we dove ahead of everyone. When Miss Kemp
stopped we hoped out of her car and waited for the other to walk down.

We had a scavenger hunt that we had to complete in teams. Mackenzie,
Brighid and I were in a team. We had to find different kinds of trees, fungi,
blue mushrooms and different kinds of birds. While we were walking we
saw lots of tomtits, house sparrows and fantails. 

There were lots of ponds with water in them, there were lots of little
streams that were cutting into the track so you had jump over the
streams. There were always shallow-ish puddles that were clean with
fresh water. There was a lot of mud and water on the track. Sometimes
I would stand in it or I would walk around it.

As I kept walking I heard funny noises, the funny noises were just one kea.
The kea was making a lot of noise. It was walking up in a high tree. The
kea was walking around and jumping on different branches. 

We stopped at 12.00 to make our bivvies
