Camping
Crack! Crack!The fire crackles under the stars.Sizzle! Sizzle!The water sizzles above the fire.Crunch! Crunch!The campers crunching on potato chips.Click! Clack! Click! Clack!The tent poles clicking and clacking together.Rustle! Rustle!As we prepare our sleeping bags to go to sleep.Chirp! Chirp!The crickets say, “good-night”. media type="custom" key="10237685"Pool Party

Squeal! Kids are running everywhere. Running and Splash –Falling in the pool.The music plays –Stomp! Stomp! The children dance. Finally, the food is off the grill-Munch, munch, munch!

 * Silly little dog ||  ||
 * Opening the door when closed ||  ||
 * Love that funny dog! ||
 * My parents sent me to the store to buy a loaf of bread. I came home with a puppy and a parakeet instead. I came home with a guinea pig, a hamster and a cat, a turtle and a lizard and a friendly little rat. I also had a monkey and a mongoose and a mouse. Those animals went crazy when I brought them in the house. They barked and yelped and hissed and chased my family out the door. My parents never let me do the shopping anymore. ||

“Here are cool mosses deep, And through the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep.”

=** THE ROYAL NATIONAL PARK **=

At The Royal National Park I learnt about a special hunting boomerang that the aboriginal people use. This boomerang is not the normal shape with two equal sides, it has one long side that the aboriginal hunters hold and through at a kangaroo and hopefully break a back leg of the kangroo.

Park Rangers set traps for domestic animals that get dumped regularly into the park. These domestic cats and dogs can hunt and destroy many of the wild life that live in the park. The Ranger sets up a trap by placing a small amount of food at the end of a cage and when an animal enters this cage to eat the food it triggers a leaver that closes the cage door behind it and trapping the animal inside.
