A Day of Mummies, handstands, and hot chips and tomato sauce sandwhiches!
Wednesday [10th September, 2008] a group of awesome friends gathered together at the Village Cinemas in Launceston to begin a day of fun, food and laughter!
People who came: Jess Richards, Danyall Richards, Mackay Wilday, Jack Prebble, Luke Radosavlejvic (dunno how to spell it properly, that was just a guess!), Bekah Bradbury, Jess Bradbury (Me!), Hannah Rattray, and Kieran Spilling.
At 11:15am, we all filled up a row at the cinemas and watched "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer"
I found it pretty scary, but then you have to take into account that i don't do so well with scary/tension movies [i got scared in "Treasure Planet" - its an animated movie :P]! Haha.
After the movie, we bought some tomato sauce and a loaf of bread, then headed to Kings Bridge to begin the gorgeous walking track into The Gorge.
The Walk into the Gorge:
We began with talking in our "Native Tongue", Aimlessly looking at a random chunk of metal sticking out of a rock [and causing many other walkers to aimlessly look up too!], and doing the folded-arm-footy-pose...
We asked some random girls to take a picture of us at the Shelter thingy along the way...
There's a random cave alongside the walking track, so we behaved as anyone would when inside a cave - like cavemen/cavewomen!!
Everyone [except me, i took the photo from the ground] climbed up the perilous stairs to the lookout. Jack and Jess reinacted a scene from titantic [the "hold me jack", imagining to fly at the front of the titanic scene lol].
[High up on the lookout: Jess, Hannah, Jack, Luke, Kieran, Mackay, Bek and Dan (who is still climbing the stairs)]
At the "Listening place" Jack got in touch with his alternative side and went into meditation and learned a new pearl of wisdom: When one crosses his legs, one experiences much pain! Haha.
At the Gorge:
When we finally arrived, we crossed to bouncy bridge, bought a STACK of hot chips and settled beside the pool on the stairs to eat lunch.
It was upon these steps that the boys introduced to me the Hot chips and tomatoe sauce sandwhich! It was grose. But hey, at least they loved it!
[Jack, Hannah and Jess on the steps where we ate lunch]
The daffodils were in full bloom at the gorge, so naturally Kieran and I picked some! I eventually got sick of mine and threw it into the pool, only to regret doing it later. So as the wind blew the daffodil further and further towards the divider in the pool, i raced off to retrieve my flower! Dan attempted to intercept by nearly throwing me in! Glad to announce that i got the daffodil and i was only wet up to my shins :D
[Yay! I got the Daffodil!]
Dan sparked off a handstand fiasco!
Soon they were doing all kinds of crazy things, like leap-frogging over each other while STANDING UP! Jack managed to spring clear over Dan (who is much taller than jack) but unfortunately Dan didn't manage to make it over Jack. And again, later, poor Jack copped a fair knee to the back of the head when Dan tried to jump over him! Ouch!
And somewhere amongst the madness, Dan kidnapped Hannah...
[Dan NEARLY making it over Jack. I said "Nearly"...]
[Jack about to miraculously make it clear over Dan!]
[Ouch!]
[Dan running away with poor Hannah slung over his shoulder!]
Once the testosterone had died down a bit, we all sat along the wall overlooking the river. There was lots of random chit-chat about everything from Dating to Cats and MORE!
[Not sure what Jack is doing down the bottom of this shot but anyway...]
[Lots of laughing and good times]
And then there was a random council worker swinging on the swings by himself... BAHAHA! It was random and hilarious!
By about 3:30pm Bekah and i left the happy group to begin the walk to Duck Reach Power Station. From Duck reach we walked down Corin Street, and then arrived at the Terry's to await our ride home to Deloraine with Dad.
It was a great day out, great company, kinda sucky weather, but gee it was nice!
