site guide

site guide yesterday was the most fun i have had in a long time as we always do we went out to the bush diong grasses and trees we learnt so much we did so many things and the information was a real mind bommer we did curly leaf love grass ,hering bone grass ,tamboeki grass,vinger grass , terpintean grass , and so much more we also got a beutifull devils thorn were the leafs are wetend with water and used as a soap this was amazing to see , we then thought to go to our hunting camp as we have never been there before as we were on our way to the old dipping site we walk right into a snake not any snake but a poathon she was amazing to she we think she was about 4 meters in lenght she was the most intresting thing we have seen so far on the farm . we also got something really odd a tree with blisters perhaps most of us though in fact not it was what we call goal formers these are were insects urinate on plant and the plant then swels out and eggs  are then put in this rock hard bubble this is done by velvet ants and is the most weardest thing in nature as these insects are so small we cut one open to see what is in side thes goals and a small white worm was feeding on the inside of this goal and was awesome to see , we also did some taste testing with monkey oranges now this was a melt in your mouth food source the monkey orange was a yellow color but tasted like a buttery pumpkin and was a great way for us to see just why monkeys love them so much !!, during this day we also did our bit by colecting papers that were lying around as this ia what a conservationist does to protect and clean the inviroment , we had so much fun and i will never forget this day ever it just shows that any thing is possible and nature is a true princess so clean and beutifull !!
