 * On Tuesday the 25th of October, grade 4 were taken to the National park.**
 * When we got there it was cancelled, but** luckily **we drove to another park.**
 * It was so beatiful it had a beach. It was raining, when it stopped we walked inside, and had discussion** **about the National Park.**
 * There were some people that were telling us about the animals, and the aboriginals that lived here long, long ago.**
 * They brought out some dead animals that were stuffed with cotton wool. One of the animals was an echindna, we got to feel it's spikes.**
 * Ranger David explained that the spikes were a defence, which the echidna used to spike other animals that might try to eat it,which worked quite well, except against the smart fox, who had worked out how to turn it over and eat it from underneath!**
 * Then he explained why national parks are not allowed to have pets like cats and dogs. A lady had brought her cat, and it got lost. They had to set traps to find it because the cats attack birds and disturb the flora and fauna.**
 * When he was finished talking about the animals habitats, we walked over to the beach and had a look.**
 * Then we raced back to have lunch.When we were finishing off the bus came, and we started the long drive back to school.**
