Mum, Dad, Craig and I went to the Hakataramea for one night. It was the 20th which is Mum and Dad`s wedding anniversary. We stayed at the old Hakataramea school which our friends made in to a place where people could stay.
When we got there we put our clothes in our bedrooms and had a look around. That day we went out Wallaby shooting near the Hakataramea school. Mum and Dad went one way and Craig (Dad`s friend) and I went the other way . Craig and I saw about 20 wallabies and shot 3. We brought one back to show my Mum and Dad. I had to carry the gun back to base where the Land Cruiser was. Mum and Dad saw about 30 wallabies and shot five between them. They brought back the one Mum shot.
We got back in the Land Cruiser and went back to the Hakataramea school about 10 pm. It was a catastrophe to get up one of the hills. It was dark and we only had the Land Cruiser lights. It was steep and slippery and we had use the winch attached to a metal pole at the top of the hill and winch the Land Cruiser up. It was scary because Dad was inside the Land Cruiser and Mum and I were behind.
When we finally got there we had a party and I stayed up until 2.00 am. Mum , dad and Craig didn’t go to bed until 3.00 to 5.00 am. We got up the next morning, had something to eat and before lunch we went back to Oamaru and had lunch there. Then made our way to Timaru.
This is only part of our trek in the South Island.
