We went to the Farm today! What a lot of fun (and we were lucky too - everytime it rained we were inside, so we didn't get wet!!)


I saw lots of animals at the farm:
There were chickens,


and wallabies.

(There were lots of other animals too - if you look at Boone & Beak's and Kalli's pages you'll see them. Bec also had 17 kindy kids to watch and photograph!!)

I also got to see a sheep getting sheared (or as one of the kindy's called it "getting a haircut!"). There is a saying that 'Australia rode to prosperity on the sheep's back' meaning that wool was Australia's first major export to the world.


And we watched the working dogs rounding up sheep. The dog we watched working the sheep is a Kelpie, which is an Australian sheep dog. He was called Bob and walked along the backs of the sheep once he had them in the shute. He could also do lots of tricks, and he is so well trained that if the farmer tells him to sit, he sits and stays until he is told to do something else. Even if the farmer goes away and eats his lunch, Bob still stays sitting!


It was a very fun (but tiring day!)
