Debating

All farm dogs should be trained to avoid kiwis....

Yes side

First of all farm dogs should be trained in case one is on someones farm and the dog could kill it could kiwis could be anywhere. Farm dogs should be trained because there is one on your farm and they keep getting killed they won't be one of our icons. Farm dogs be trained because the kiwi is a endangered species and soon could be extinct.

They should all be trained.

Against side

All farm dogs should not be trained because they are there on natural instincts.They should just be themselves nothing else If you get them trained they might not listen or behave and just cause havoc. Farm dogs should not be trained because they are made for rounding up and animals and other thing.

They should not be trained

Tramping in the bush

Crunch of leaves as we walked up the ranges it is 9 km and takes about 5 hours  Fleur Kelly and I we going up the ranges looking for native animals it was only a day trip lucky . Fleur was coming because she loves hiking and just loves the outdoors. Fleur is fun to be with she is fast and very perky, One of fleurs things she normally always wears is shorts and t-shirts she is wearing that now. Kelly had to come with us because my dad said we needed help and got lost. Kelly loves the outdoors Kelly is so much fun and active she is 22 years old.

We started to climb the steep mountain it was as steep as climbing. Our feet were stinging it finally became smoother and not as steep. Tui started to sing its tune it sounded so beautiful. Lying on the ground were tree branches all different shades of green. Flowing down the rock of the hills edge was a fresh waterfall the water was as cold as ice almost frozen but still gushing down the rock edge. The pine trees became closer together blocking the sun out it felt so cold fleur did not feel it felt like it was going to snow.    

We all became hungry we stopped and had a delicious morning tea with lemonade and biscuits. Kelly said” we better head off” fleur said she wanted to in the front so she did Kelly was at the back I was in the middle it. It started to get a little darker the trees were blocking the light in Kelly said “I’m sure we turned the wrong way” But we kept walking the trees started to give light. I told the others wasn't that where we had morning tea it was. Fleur you took the wrong turn we walked straight not the loop track that time. We briskly walked along we saw a weta hotel we opened it up there was three wetas one looked like a baby we shut it up and carried on.We came to a pitch black cave hidden among the branches.               

 

We ran over to it we looked inside it was so dark I flicked my flashlight on and looked around the cave walls were so dusty. That was why it was so hard to see inside” I don't think so” said Fleur and leaned in a little bit too far and fell into a deep hole.It was scary watching fleur wizz down the deep hole . She screamed as she fell she I shone my flashlight down it was dark. We all did not know what to there was in the cave panicking we could not get her out we thought for a bit but no one had any good ideas. Down in the cave fleur was complaining of a twisted knee. Fleur looked down at the floor there was dead rats and mice  they were all over the floor it looked like they had been there for centuries it was just white dirty skeletons and a skeleton hand it looked gross but like the rats and mice we tried to get her out but it was no use. We all did not know what to there was in the cave panicking we could not get her out

I suddenly have an idea Kelly” “would weaving flax work and then put it down the hole so we could pull her up” Yes that is a great idea but where do you get the flax” I saw some back there ok we went back and got heaps we took it back and started to weave it only took us 20 minutes to weave it was not that good but it we lowered it down it just made it to fleur. She grabbed on for dear life we heaved and heaved finally she got to the top we pulled her the rest of the way. Her knee was still aching so kelly put her on her back and we walked back down the hill.

Camp Kitawa

Caving At Camp

Squelch Slurp  as I trampled through sticky mud. I listened to the car or truck go past. I started to climb up my hands got dirty from the sandstone. Waiting so patiently my turn

Gripping tight to the rope I went down the rope was burning my hands my feet were jumping down onto the rocks Miss Hill I learnt back, My feet touched the rocky ground. Crunch went my shoes on the rocks I looked in front of me there was big rocks and little rocks  even rocks that hung from the rock roof like icicles. Leaping climbing I got to where everyone was. I could hear  water was dribbling down the jagged rocks.

We had to go down a hole in single file line. We had to crawl through it was dark but the torches lit it up as there was like a small canyon with big and small jagged rocks everywhere, I looked up the roof was right above my head. Slowly went up the hole to the top of the hole smile says Miss Hill flash went the camera.

Slowly I heaved myself up my legs felt so stiff and sore. Briskly I walked and jumped back to the group. After a few pictures we headed back waiting again to go up my turn came quickly it was so much easier to go up you just held the rope steep by steep I put my feet on the rocks and pulled myself up.
