Aboriginal Walk

Yesterday I had the aboriginal walk; it wasn’t really a walk but more a presentation. First the guys went to Buzzy and Jade where we learnt all about the different tribes and weapons and the best kind of stones for weapons which are bluestones. He also told us a bit about his traditions and how close we’re to some of their burial grounds and eating spots. Once he had finished we had morning tea then went to Ms. Wade where we learnt about how she made baskets as well as eel and fish traps and some tools and tricks that made it easier to catch the fish in them. Once she finished that we went for a little walk and she showed us some plants that we could eat, some were actually alright. Afterwards she told us some dream time stories. Once all that was done we went to the buses for the ride back to campus while contemplating all that we had learnt.
