Water Wonders
On the second day we were fishing, swimming and Tom was trying to surf on a log ... well he was boogie boarding! I had a go and was pushing it down and diving under. I tried doing everything Tom couldn't do. The water was cold. Most people had to get used to it before they got in!
Kick,kick,kick.
Me and Cole swam away into deeper water. We could see lots of fish out there and we wanted to have a look round. 
"Octopus!" Cole pointed it out. It looked ugly and round with big round circles all over it . I knew it was an octopus because squid are more streamlined with tentacles out the back and they keep moving and stay in a pack of three. An octopus is kind of round and stays at the bottom and tries to hide.
Cole zoomed away in a flash. I swam down to touch it. I have been in a boat before and went scallop diving close to the rocks. We saw one then so I knew what to look for. But when I went down to touch it ...
Squirt!
It squirted black ink at me. I couldn't see anything and I swam away in a flash. I went up, hoping I could get out of the black. I got out as fast as I got in! 

Later that night on the second day, I went to the creek to watch the little fish!! EEL!!!
I ran around the tents to tell all my friends. They all came down to have a look. Over the days we went down to the creek to play with the eels. One time we tied some squid on some flax and onto a stick to try to catch them. The eel bit it and it dropped off and it swam away following it. It went into a shallow bit. We put the squid next to the entrance of a log cave thinking it would be under it. It popped out and we saw it flicking its tail making all of the water murky. We wondered what was happening under the surface. We didn't know what was going to happen. Suddenly I saw the flax move. Frantically I pulled the stick up. The eel popped. I enjoyed it because it was thrilling and We did not know what was going to happen next. Every little eel was a different size.

Army visit
"Turn around for a picture," I groaned. I could barely move. I felt like a rock.
BOOM!! What was that?
Oow ... a smoke grenade BOOM. 
Oo BOOM. Aaaaa! 
Now its time for the run. 
Gooo! Zoom zing! We were racing against a guy from the army. Huntah won. It was a fast race. I came third.
