Return Trip to Docklands(tracks edited for privacy reasons)

It’s a slow news day – so a cross post from Making Tracks.

The weather forecast for the day was excellent. Although afternoon cloud was in the forecast, there was enough sunny breaks to make it one of the best winter days in a long while.

We cycled down the Upfield Bikeway at about 3pm. That meets up with the Capital City Trail. We went past the Zoo until Flamington Bridge station where the trail joins Moonee Ponds Creek. From the Zoo to this point, it was mostly downhill which makes it easy. The hard part is in the return journey.

Moonee Creek takes us to Footscray Road. The bike path along Footscray Road takes up to Shopping Town in Docklands. We pushed our bikes to the waterfront where we stopped for some ice-cream and snacks to replenish our energy for the journey home.

While riding back to home, we realised that we were going past a recently placed geocache. We decided to attempt this cache since it was only a few metres from the Footscray Road bike path. It was a relative easy find although the GPS coords was a bit off.

Whilst the journey to Docklands was mostly downhill, the journey back require us to climb a few hills between Flemington Bridge Station and the Zoo. It wasn’t a difficult climb but we wished that the climb was in the first half of the trip rather than the second half.

We reached home at about 5pm – a 2 hour trip. The total distance travelled was about 16 km. Overall, a really pleasant bike ride on a lovely winter afternoon.

He he he he he. the door closes behind me. again he he he he I turn around again and again stunned by the laugh

This is a small house but when you come in it’s massive. The laugh echos through the house. again and again.

I hate this house I had a weard feeling every time I went near it. People have been killed in this house no one knew what was doing it. He he he I turn around again expecting to find nothing. but I see a small child black hair in rags.

Hello I mumble out The child Grins I see blood in it’s teeth opens and closes his mouth. I see flesh getting chewed up.

I run hearing the hell child laughing but it wasn’t that child laughing before. More hellish children I think to my self never going to forget what I just saw. I do a circut of the house the child can no longer be seen. He just vanished.

I run to the door and try to open it. I turn the nob it turns a glimmer of hope strikes me. I push nothing happens it won’t budge. He he he he. The door nob stiffens It won’t move. The walls around me start to bubble and Melt.

No I scream hoping to survive. Another child dressed the same as the first appears it’s a girl. The rags catchs of fire

and the girl laughs and points at me then explodes into guts and flesh. I close my eyes and open them again. Another child. Licks him self witha massive tongue smogging blood all over his face. The bloods boils away and more blood floods out from his skin. theres a pool of blood under the boy. The boy collapses and melts into blood leaving his rag.

I stand and realise the walls have stopped melting they are back to normal. as for me I am not going to be the same after this. I reach out to grab the rags still lying of the pool of blood. As I touch it a hand burst out of the blood and grabs me. then the boys head comes out and opens his mouth sharp teeth row after row the digs into my arm. I scream he he he he only much louder. the child( Not really) still digging deeper into my arm. Around the corner a red glove appears and turns into a fist a man comes out wearing rags but there’s something differant about him I can feel it.

He waves his hand and the child biting me explodes into darkness. The man smiles then shows me his teeth. It didn’t have blood on them. The two children appear out of no where behind him.

The man stares at me then on my bleeding arm. I frown and look back. trying not to show pain. The man then claps his hand and I am in total darkness. Foot steps getting louder turning into a run Something jumps on me and bites my neak. I scream Some thing grabs my legs and then bites on. The thing biting by neak attacks my hand that was already bitten. I can’t feel my feet some thing knocks my head. I fant.

If penguins can’t fly because they have such small wings, then why do they have small wings in the first place? The answer is that small wings are much more useful underwater because they have lower drag and greater agility. Their wing bones are fused straight, rather than angled like a flying bird’s, and this has the effect of making the wing rigid and powerful, like a flipper. The small wings and a streamlined body shape are ideal for diving in water. Larger wings would create too much drag, while the small penguin wings are excellent for high speed swimming.

Today it was the Moomba Parade 2010 and I was there performing music!
I was waring a red top with a red cap.
Some people in my group was waring a orange top but I wasn’t.
It all came from  my lovely school I attend, named Princes Hill Primary School. There was a teacher who found this out and she brought
this man called Justen to come and showed us the recyclable instruments he made. There was different things like some big, big pipes and then he would use a thong to smack the top of the big pipes.

There was two types of drums. There was a snare drum which was a bucket and you use the bottom to drum on and that’s simple.
There was a big water cooler bottle. It’s similar to the snare drum so you are meant to use the bottom. That drum was called a base drum and there were not many because where do you get them from and we don’t want our music to be too loud either.

Shaker – It was a drink bottle and it had rice inside. Lucky last, there was a pipe not the big one with the thong but it was a small pipe and it’s played like a flute, though it doesn’t sound like a flute but it is really like a flute.

The Practices
Some instruments were the same but there was some changes.

1.He could not find many of the big pipes and we had to walk a long, long, long way during the parade so it would be hard to carry the big pipes.

2.Justen didn’t know why but he couldn’t play the small pipe that looked like a flute any more so he made a different design. It has two small pipes and some cork. He drilled a hole in the two small pipes but the size of them were different so they made different pitch.

3.The two drums were the same just like the shakers.

MOOMBA!
The real parade today was scary as well as fun. My friends were there too and we were all too exited!
My friends were just very excited to be on TELEVISION BECAUSE WE WERE ON LIVE NEWS! We smiled and smiled until our cheeks hurt.  We played our instruments, and we marched and jumped according to the music.
The leaders used whistles to tell us what to play.
We marched from RMIT along Swanston Street, past Flinders Street Train station to the Art Centre.  The weather was good and it didn’t rain until after the parade which was good.

My opinion about the parade was I missed watching the parade as I was one of the STARS marching in the parade.  When we came home, we watched the entire parade from the recorded TV NEWS.

Today at school was the swimming carnival and I came 3rd!
There were many people and first I was a bit worried because we had to swim 50m and I thought  it was really really long but you know what it looked short!
When I swam it was short and I was versing people that I think are really good also in my school they have houses and I’m in red house and there’s points!
Normally gold house would win by points but they didn’t.
Blue house won!

Sad for me.
Because the other houses have really good people that I was versing I thought I would be like last or 5th but I wasn’t.
The thing I can’t believe the most is that I came 3rd!
