Trip to the West Coast.

 Kia ora, Last week me and my family went to the West Coast. This is a picture we took of Cape Foulwind where we found a seal colony and some wekas. The wekas where really friendly. 


This is a picture of three wekas one mum or dad then two babies, the mum weka was showing her babies how to get bugs. They use there beaks like hammers to try get the bugs. 


This is a picture of Cape Foulwind sea. There was a walk way at Cape Foulwind, what we saw was a seal colony and some wekas. 


After that we went up a hill to Dennlsiton Mine and there was this big mining place where only boys and men worked, they dug for coal in the old days. 


This is a picture of the view the view was so beautiful. It was also really high up it was 600 meters up from the sea.



This is the old coal bucket at Granity.

                                                                           Water wheel.


This is a tunnel that we went through it had some holes in big holes in it so I think it made be where they use to mine for gold.

  1. Kia ora Nevaeh this is an incredible recount of your trip to the West Coast with your whānau. I love how you experienced so many cool things and learnt lots of useful information about them as well. Your whānau chose some really interesting places to visit. You are very lucky to have experienced these things Nevaeh. I also really enjoyed watching the video that you embedded. It makes me proud to see that you are using the digital skills that we have taught you at school to share this experience with others. Taukē!
