Prior to the deadline of my assignment, i went to this camp which i have mentioned before. had fun and really chilled out (mentally and physically) it was so damn freezing cold at night that some can't sleep. post chill out effect: both of the back of my palm are suffering from cold eczema (not really that serious) but i have peeling of skin and slight bloody fissuring at the dermato fissure of my skin. planting trees were really a small part of the camp though that was our objective. we only spent the saturday late morning and early afternoon planting trees. the rest of the time we either chilled out mentally or physically. yep. at the trees planting site, it is a vast terrain with shoots of different plants already line up on the group for us to dig a hole for it. as we have xs manforce, job was done fairly quickly. forgot to tell, our bus broke down on our way day and got stalled at blackheath for 3-4 hrs. the local pizza stall almost can't cope with the sudden influx of customers. as a result of the bus breaking down, we reached the camp place at 1am though we departed at 5pm. thank goodness that the tent was already set up by the organisers who reached there earlier in car. oso, on our trip back to city.....there was this big jam on the 2 lane highway.... (thus i concluded that we spend lotsa time traveling)
it's surprising that the organisers (only 4 of them , but 1 man down as he's not doin much stuff) as first years biological enviromental science students did a good job in organising the camp, cooking, finding and hacking the woods, setting up tents, and protecting the environment ( collected all the glass bottles(beer), tin cans(beer again), cardboard back to campus).etc
met lotsa friends there, mainly international students: germany, US, Israel, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Australia.etc there are 2 polarity of the participants, either the young year one or the postgraduate (smart ass who can b quite childish at times like this in camp) who are still new to Australia. Of course there are other random variants as well like me.
