Hey hey!
So yesterday I went with some old school friends to the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm for lunch. But first, getting up at 7am this morning to get ready in time to get to town by 9 was a massive struggle. Meg and I put our names down to volunteer some time with the Leukaemia Foundation to do christmas gift wrapping with Myer. Having the bus be ten minutes late made me twenty minutes late wasn't a good start for today. It didn't matter in the end because we didn't get any customers until the last half an hour, when three people all turned up at once with multiple things to have wrapped. It was a hectic last stretch of our shift but we made it. After being relieved of our positions we went and got something to eat and had a cute little morning tea break.
For lunch I had one of their homemade beef burgers with a really thick fresh raspberry smoothie. This burger was huge and the only way I could actually eat it was by cutting it up and eating it with a knife and fork. After lunch we went into Deloraine for a look around and to plan where we were headed next. Obviously there wasn't much to see and do in D-City so we to Liffey Falls for an adventure.
So my friend, Amelia, her car is a tiny two door old thing. So imagine that driving down a narrow gravel road that hugs the side of a mountain. On the way down we were following an older couple that were going no faster than I could walk; just to be safe of course. After finally parking at the top of the walking trails, we jumped out of the car to get to the toilets. You can't go to Liffey Falls without going to the Big Tree, so that's were we then headed, on our one minute walk to the tree. The fifty meter tall tree towers over it's surrounding neighbour trees with such beauty. It was probably the third time I had seen the tree but it is still just as awesome as the first time.
Anyway, off we then headed towards the actual falls bit in Liffey Falls. The walk was a forty minute return trip so it would be nothing compared to our school's cross country course considering we were walking. Every five minutes or so Britt would have a little spasm due to the bugs attacking her causing her to scream, jump and throw her sunglasses. It was quite funny to watch and it never got old. After reaching the first look out, I decided to take a different path that would take me down on the the rocks next to the water. It was cute, we did some climbing over logs and along the river bank and over rocks, we felt like adventurers.
It was such a hot day and we managed to make ourselves even hotter by walking and climbing all over the Liffey Falls walking trails. On the way home we stopped in D-City and got ice-cream and drove the long way home through the back country towns.
That night Megan came and picked me up and we went and met up with a friend that was back in the state for a week after moving interstate. We met some friends of friends that we had heard about for a long time but had actually not met them yet, so that was nice. All together it was a hectic, hot, fun and well spent day.
Good Night xx
P.S. I don't really intend to always post so late a night but it seems as of lately that I can only really concentrate very late at night. I'm also trying to publish them as closely as I can to the day that it has actually happened, but as you can tell a lot of this has happened around the same time. But thank you, whoever is reading this, for being patient. Lots of love and stay gold :)
