International Women's Day Excursion

Last Tuesday our class went on an excursion.
The reason for the excursion was to celebrate world women's day.
We met at the Migrant Resource Centre in Rockdale at 9:30 in the morning, where we got information about the excursion.
At 10:00 am a bus drove us to Hawthorne Park in Ramsgat.
In the park we met an indigenous Australian man, who perform a smoking-ceremony for us and explained what he was doing. We could also ask questions.
After the ceremony we walked into the bush and the Aboriginal man told us more about his culture and how the aboriginal people are connected with nature.
An hour later we met an other man. He told us many interesting things about Australian native animals. He gave us more information about certain animals such as, where we can find them, what makes them unique and how we can protect them. The man also brought animal with him so we could see and touch them.
We saw a green tree frog, an ringtailded possum, a tawny frogmouth, a flying-fox and a blue tongue lizard.
In the afternoon we got back on the bus and went back to the MRC.
Back in the MRC we got lunch and we had the opportunity to dance and celebrate world women's day.
The majority of our class enjoyed the excursion because we learned a lot about the Australian culture on international women's day.
