A Prickly, Slippery, Experience at Lake Ranfurly
Closer to the lake the ground was covered in a forest of spiky reeds. Jennifer, Darrien, Danielle and I were dodging in and out of the spiky reeds, collecting data for Cath. It was the 15th of July and 5/6 A were at Lake Ranfurly on Gibbs Road. After a muddy walk down to the lake (or close to it anyway; we could see it in the distance) we had collected a clipboard to record data, a ruler to measure the smaller plants and a texta to write down information. Now, my group was collecting data. The spiky reed plant pricked at my legs. Ouch! I jumped over the next one, I wasn’t going to be pricked again! Looking back behind me I could see the trees of the bushland behind us. Looking forward I saw the fluorescent yellow vests of the groups that were ahead of us. The ground below us was more waterlogged than it had been 20m back. When Ms. Hammerton told us to go back, we made our way back through the prickly forest of reeds and down the slippery, muddy path back to the bus. Though, the Lake Ranfurly experience was prickly and slightly muddy, it was fun and I’d love to go back again.
Thanks to Mrs. Vorwerk, Ms. Hammeton, Kath and Ms. Harnell for taking and teaching us.
