Vollie Day 02: The Reptile Room

Although not all the staff agreed
Today was my second gig, and the last one I opted in to over the school holidays.  It was a LOT quieter than Saturday: the camel-riding, kitemaking and crafts had wrapped up but there were a few groups through for storytelling in the Buchan Blue Wattle forest (Forest 13 in the north-west corner: now tall enough to keep a bunch of kids in the shade).  A holiday care program also trooped a large group of kids through today on an excursion - they were a terrific little bunch of kids (60 kids seem to be easier to manage on a tour than 8 adults...).  In the morning I roamed the playground and the entry, and in the afternoon I took the door at the Margaret Whitlam pavilion, where Reptiles Inc. were showing off some of their awesome critters. I find them all adorable.


Sometime after the school holidays, NAC may publish their school holiday program on their Whats On page... http://www.nationalarboretum.act.gov.au/whats_on .
