Today was the Enviro Bike Ride. In the morning, we got in the bus with 2B, who were on the way to Expo 2. They dropped us of, about 30kms from Snowy River Campus and we basically had to ride home. We rode for hours, on sealed roads and unsealed roads (and some that hardly counted as roads at all). We stopped at the picturesque Cabbage Tree Creek. Birds called from their hidden perches amongst the trees and reeds swayed like mermaid hair in the creek. We all shared something special we had found along our walk. Anie shared a frond of Maiden Fern and James just said being with us was special. When it came to my turn, I said, “I love the sounds of the forest.” And a car chose that moment to start in the car-park next to us.

Overall, the bike ride was good fun. We learnt a lot about the deforestation that has happened around the area and all felt very inspired to do something about it.
