More from a sunburnt weekend

I know I posted this morning, but I wanted to post again because I did leave out a few things.

One last thing that Uncle Rusty taught our Linking Indigenous class was how to make fire! You twirl a stick between the palms of your hands on a plank of wood (certain types of wood have to be used). Small spurts of smoke come out and eventually you get a coal where you've been applying friction and you dump it onto some dry grass. Blow on the coal or just let the wind supply the oxygen and there you go, FIRE! Unfortunately, I have no pictures to prove that I did it, but I did. My proof was having callouses and slight pain in my knuckles from twisting the stick for a few days.

Also included in my weekend in Ingham was Big Creek located near Crystal Creek, I believe. We got to climb up some rocks and jump off of them. There was a little water slide that water had made from pouring over the rocks. Then on our way back we had a bit of a breakdown. Luckily, Jason's brother had come with us and his parents had to pick him up anyways, so they brought enough gas to get us to a fuel station so we could fill up. We ended our trip with a meal at MACCAS (McDonald's)! Even though there are plenty of places to visit in Australia, I'm not sure I'll have a weekend quite like this one in the next three months.
