Mushrooms

As the sun rises the mushrooms rocket up. Hundreds of colors grow where the wood mouse stores supplies for winter. Mushrooms shoot up like little space ships.

Fishing on the dam

I went fishing at Bourkies dam.  When we got there, it was about 2.30pm.  We fished in the blistering hot sun for 3 hours with no luck at all.  Finally, we found the fish feeding on the surface in some part of the deep dark cool water.  I cast my line and whamo I had a fish just like that!  I battled with it for about 20 minutes, finally I got it on land.  It was about 1 1/2 pounds, I was thrilled.  When we got back to the car, we had a hot chocolate.  When I was doing some practice casting, I figured out that some perch were following the lure.  After about 150 casts, James finally caught one.  We were going to put it back but it had got hooked in the gills, so we had to keep it.  When we got back, we pan-fried it, it tasted so good.  Dad said that perch were the best fish for fish and chips.
Sizzle, sizzle, went the fillets of fish in the frying pan.  The golden crispy skin made my mouth water. The white fillets glowed in the golden colour of the oil - yum!

Trail bike ride

It was the trail bike ride at the Apiti domain and my mum is a nurse. It was 9 am on a Sunday and 400 motorbike riders were pouring through the gates. Me and my friend Derek were riding our push bikes. It was fun.

HECTORS DOLPHINS

We got on the boat and motored off . We stopped at a main reserve .The gaye gave us some pellets that we feed to the blue cod.
After that we went and saw a salmon farm. There were some seal too.
The next thig we saw were some Hectors Dolphins. They were so cool. There were even two babies or calves. The lady said that when the babies are inside their mum they are folded up. It was amazing.

Sting rays

We paddled over to the other side of the bay. We were looking for sting rays on the Stand Up Paddle Boards.
When we got there we saw a massive eagle ray. It was about 2 metres long. It could swim so fast . I looked behind me by Huntah. I thought I could see one. Iwent over to it .
When I got to it I thought it was a rock but ... when Huntah touched it with his paddle it shot off. It was so cool.

Mussels at Mistletoe Bay

Mussels at Mistletoe Bay
We sprinted to the jetty expecting lots of sea life. We were right!
Crabs, fish, mussels and squid. The whole lot.
As we jumped into the water we could see fish every where. Big ones ... little ones ... black ones and brown ones. It was amazing how many fish species there were.
Then we saw them ... mussels the size of a weka. They were big, green, doing nothing ... just sitting clinging to the wall. We swam down to them .We pulled and pulled but they wouldn't come off. So we twisted them and wisted them and they finally came off .They were absolutely massiv te.

My goal was to use good description by choosing interesting words.
