This week we have been back in Sinclair wetlands. It was different from the last time we were down here, firstly because it had been hot an sunny all week as opose to heavy downpours and secondly, we did some very different work. We did all the usual stuff like planting and weeding, but this time, Johnny (the manager, who helped up out) took us to help with tailing some of his lambs, which was fun and also to slaughter some of his sheep. Only half of us went to do this because the other half of the group chickened out. I personall helped skin one of the sheep and we brought back the heart and liver for the rest of the volunteers, it didn't go down very well. Personally i didn't enjoy it either but i didn't let on.
We are travelling to Southland for next week and decided to stay for the weekend in the Catlins at Owaka. There is a beach right next to our accomodation but its a bit cold for swimming. We also went to Nugget Point today where you can supposidly see penguins and whales of the coast, we wern't so lucky, only managed to see some seals and got caught on the ridge in a hail storm. All in all, a good week. I think the warm weather is on its way.
