The group collaborated on a number of team-building initiatives (in the drizzle!). They successfully completed Speedball, River of Chocolate, and Traffic Jam (above). The afternoon consisted of group discussions about biodiversity conservation and first introductions to key concepts. Groups were formed, representing Urbanites, Developers, and Farmers. Below is a poem written by the "Urbanites" to explain the pros and cons of biodiversity from their viewpoint:
Relieve our stress
With a fresh breath
Breaking the monotony
With many new sights to see
Aesthetics that please
With plants that appease
Kill the heat!
Urban island we will beat
Not to mention job creation
For more maintenance in this nation
But who’s gonna pay?
Don’t send the fees our way!
And it will limit our growth
Green spaces and hoses we want both
Plus regulations will abound
With building restrictions around
It will consume all of our time
To make diversity so sublime
Lastly with preferences restricted
Many domestics, even cats and dogs, might be
evicted.
The evening was spent experiencing a bit of Kiwana. We made Pavlova (pictured above) and watched an episode of Flight of the Conchords (Tough Brets!). Ahh - you did it again Murray!
Cheers, Mark
