Week 6, Southland

My last week of work. We spent last week at Sinclair wetlands and the weekend in the Catlins. Our last week was in Southland; on our way form Owaka to Southland, we made various stops on the way, many of which were waterfalls. One of the waterfalls was New Zealands very own Niagara falls. Not quite as good as the real thing.
We also visited nuget point in Okowa. Apparently you can see whales and penguins of the coast but sods law meant that we saw nothing but sea and seals.

This week we have been working in Waituna wetlands which in Maori, means WaterEel wetlands. We've spent most of the week planting trees, but have also been wading to catch some native fish in one of the rivers. We caught some trought, eel and fresh water cray fish. We've also been weeding and maintaining the footpaths around the wetlands. Our most inportant job this week was building a toilet in the wetlands for the 'Tourists'.

This week i have a week off and i'm spending the majority of my week in Queenstown. I've got alot of activities booked including one bungie jump. It's going to be a good week!
