back from the grampians national park. SO MUCH FUN guys. cept for night time, where there was absolutely nothing to do. stuck in the middle of no where in a town of 270 people. 1 ping pong table, a few deck of cards to amuse us (brought by smart people). but during the day, it was GREAT. we did team building activities, like an obstacle course sorta thing, where you have to use your head, and be physical. think road rules, but not as hard core and crazy. the most scary part was putting on blind folds and following a string through the forest. also, we did like tree top climbing, where they have suspended rope 10 meters (do the conversion yourself, 2.54 cm=1 inch) above the ground, and you can walk on it. the best one was called leap of faith. you climb to the top of this totem pole, and you jump off, trying to catch a trapeze bar suspended. i had a horrible jump, but that's ok. it's weird, cuz i'm scared of heights, but i'm not scared of climbing to the top of that stuff for some reason. it WAS a bit scary that the totem pole shakes back and forth while you stand at the top, but i guess cuz i rock climbed before, i trust the rope to catch me. i mean, come on it holds like 5 tons. i dont weigh THAT much, only 4 tons. :) then i went rock climbing and rapelling on REAL rocks. tore up my hands and knees, but it was a lot of fun. this morning i went on a hike up a mountain. 3 hour hike, about 2 miles. it was soooo tiring. we had to do a bit of rock climbing too, this wasnt a nice leisurly stroll, let me tell ya. it was HARD WORK!

dood, i wish i could just show everyone what i'm doing, it's so much FUN! but i have no photos yet. i shall try very hard to do it soon. still trying to plan some trips.

ok i just totally lost my train of thought when i turned around to talk to people. so i'm going to stop now. later guys!
