One of the parents from school has acreage on the outskirts of town, about three kilometres from our house. The whole school went there today to learn camping skills such as pitching a tent, shelter making and lighting a fire.
By lunchtime, the sun was
filtering through camp smoke and children were wandering around with crowns
made of bougainvillea eating an endless supply of hamburgers. As it is in Australia, only males of the
species were permitted to cook on the open fire.
There were about 150 children
running around the property and there wasn’t one sign of barricading or cordoning
off the fire area. However, Depp was
disappointed that in the afternoon workshops the Kinder 5 class wasn’t allowed
to build a fire.
