History Tour 2

On Thursday the 10th of September, Wardli’s 2 and 3 went on the second history tour. This one was alot better than the first one. Our first stop was the Warooka Museum. From the outside it looked quite small but on the inside it was actually quite big. While in the museum I learnt lots of things, like that the museum used to be a police station, which during the 1900’s nudity in the family was common, they would help each other wash one another, and that gas masks are quite heavy. When looked at everything in the museum, we moved off to the Brentwood Cemetery. It was a fairly small cemetery with about 36 graves in it. Most of the graves had an epitaph (the saying on the grave) such as “His End was Peace” and “In Good Care” there was also one grave in un-holy land. The child had been dammed to hell. The rave was facing in another direction to the other graves and also was a few metres away from all of the other graves. On our way out we found this interesting spore plant that shot out green stuff everywhere when touched. It was really cool.

We sat in the bus and had lunch for about an hour.

Our next stop was really quite freaky. Moff warned us that there could be some people (ferals) living in the house on the farm that we went to. Moff told us a story, the last time he went there one of the students started punching a punching bag and the ferals chased them out of the shed and away from the property. Hopefully this story wasn't true. We walked through all of the rooms and Moff told us a little bit about each of them. On our way out we noticed that one of the doors that we had closed was open, it was probably the wind but we weren’t sure. Moff told me to go and close the door. But I didn’t, instead I went with Chris and Matt. We had a look inside and lamed the door, as if we had been pulled in, but we then got quite scared because the door had locked. We climbed out through the back window and joined the group. Then Moff got really scared because he apparently saw a window move. The cows that were on the property had surrounded us a few times, and then the disappeared for some random reason. Once we started driving out we saw the cows lined up along the gate so we couldn’t get out. But Moff just drove towards them and we moved.

Our second to last stop was Yorke Town, for food. Most of us got chips, or an energy drink. We also stopped at the Yorke Town Community Centre and I got a kerosene lamp for no particular reason. Our final stop was the “Moffat“ Seel Colony. This was really interesting. After this everyone on the bus had the job of directing us home. This was difficult because Moff didn’t turn the way we wanted.
