2. When we got to CERES we got told that where we are in the photos was going to be
our home base. At the home bass that’s were we would eat our lunch and meet after
the activities.
3. The recycle relay
and the timeline!
One of the activities was
the Recycling relay. We
had to split into 2 teams.
Each team had a bin full of
things that you can
through away, recycle or
put in the compost.
Another activity was the
timeline on how long it
takes for something to
break down. The first item
to break down was a
newspaper. The last item
to breakdown was the
glass bottle. Some of the
other items were a cotton
T-shirt, cardboard milk
carton, dishwashing liquid
bottle and a plastic bag.

4. The Merri Merri Creek!
When we were at C.E.R.E.S we went out
to the Merri Merri Creek. Our tour
guide told us that the Merri Merri Creek
is about 50km long. He also said that in
about a 6km stretch they found 20 cars
and there is still a tyre in the Merri
Merri Creek. We had a great time
walking along the track. Our tour guide
showed us heaps of pictures of different
animals that used to come to the Merri
Merri Creek, but they went away
because it became very dirty.
5. This is the vegie garden. CERES grows their own
organic fruit and veg to be sold at their own
market. All of the scraps go to the chickens and
worms so none of the food is wasted.
