After breakfast, we headed down to the Rockingham Regional Environment Centre. After a briefing, we split into two (A and C/ B and D) Group A and D ( which Crystal, Claire And I are in) headed for a walk in the garden. Our guide there, showed us a big can of garbage and said that there are alot of worms in it which will eat up the garbage, to create compost. Some of us were brave enough to touch it while others backed away. Seems like worms have a big appetite!

| Smelly.... |
 |
| The worm likes jumping about! |
Herbivores for a day!
Then, she took us for a tour around the place. Because it was still early spring, the flowers haven't fully bloomed. But, there were a few flowers here and there which looked really pretty.
Here are some of the things we saw during the tour!

| A little green bug on Ms.Isda's finger! |

 |
| Pretty trees... |

Then, the guide showed us a plant. It was lite green and very soft.She said that you could eat it and it is quite salty. Many people looked uncertain, but nevertheless tried it. It was very yummy! It was slightly salty, which is why it is called the saltbush (or something like that...)
Many tasted it!
 |
| Claire, tried it uncertainly... |
 |
| Shakira, nibbling away! |
She showed us another plant, some kind of spinach, and we tasted it too. It was quite good, but personally, i thought the other leaf was better...
When we came back from the tour, we met another guide, who surprisingly, has lived in Singapore before, for a couple of years! She then showed us Bobby and Bubbles, a few animals that live in Australia. She even showed us a snake! We were allowed to touch them.
