quadbiking

After we finished up the raised-bed gardens, the three of us headed into town for another Blaze visit and a trip to the coffee house to finish up the website, which Miva and I had worked on a little more last night.

Fueled by a few cups of coffee and a wonderful double chocolate cake, we made good work of all the pages on the website and I’m pretty pleased with it. Now comes the big challenge of putting it up – there’s already a very basic Marama site up, and we’re not sure if the password’s still around or not.

Back on the farm, I asked Graham if I could take him up on the quadbiking offer he’d made earlier in the week. With a farm the size of Marama, quadbikes (ATVs, I think) are the best way to get around. You can get by on foot on smaller farms, and a lot of the really big stations use helicopters. Graham gave me a quick lesson, then sent Miva out to supervise me on my first trip. So much fun, in case you can’t tell from the picture!
