Some More Firsts
I have had a fair share of new experiences while being here and this past weekend was no exception. I have gone camping before, I have gone opossum hunting before and I have gone for a tramp (hike) before. However, I have not killed anything intentionally before (that squirrel I killed in the States was not supposed to run in front of my car, really!) but this past Saturday night I shot two opossums! Do take a moment to reflect on the truth that opossums here are considered a nuisance since they kill native birds and animals so I really was doing the environment a favor. It does feel weird to have officially killed something though since I’m not normally a hunting/fishing kind of girl. That night I also helped Michelle look for eels to spear and the next day during a tramp we slid and hiked down this hill without using a path. Least to say I have a fair share of sore muscles, bruises and scratches. *sigh* It’s all part of the experience!
