South Australia rocked by earthquake measuring 8.3 on Richter scale

South Australia rocked by the earthquake at 3.8 on the Richter scale

Friday evening, 23:27 Australian time clock (15:57 German time clock), passed through an earthquake and a roaring Echunga. Laura and I just stood in the hallway, Brooke was in his room, Sonia and Max were sitting in the living room and Claus was in the caravan, as a thundering over us and moved away doors, windows, and then the whole house shook for about 5 seconds. Five seconds later, everyone gathered excitedly in the living room, "Was that an earthquake?" We are in a geographical / tectonically inactive area, where (perceived) life-earthquakes are not common.

Three minutes after the quake, there were already groups "I survived the earthquake" on Facebook, with over 2,000 fans. In the news now announced that the Epiczenter between Mt Barker and Macclesfield was - only 5 km distance from us - and had a magnitude of about 3.8 on the Richter scale.
entries from people in Adelaide who have felt the quake stood just two minutes after the earthquake in our web. In just two minutes, the earthquake has moved over 35 km ...

There was no real damage! With us nothing is broken (only our tormentor Roxy woke up * lol *), in others is a picture of the wall fell, but that was all - was more likely the bad caretaker, who has hung the picture * haha *

"YEAH, I got my first earthquake survived! * Lol * "

Here you will find the news (unfortunately currently only available in English).

Episode III - From the "bull rider" to the "salsa dancer" ...

After Easter, we got another new Wwooferin - Emily from England. Unfortunately, it was no help at all and totally unique. Work was in slow motion, and while they slept, she said loudly in English, so they all woke up, ("! Not her thing" was all), they could apply for interest and nothing to the question about their interests, there was no response. After less than a week, they left us again.

In recent days I've again used a lot of poisonous snakes. "Assistfeeding" at Boiga's , "tailing" at Spotted Black's and Mulga's , "sexing" of water snakes and the medication with snakes. To me the "sexing" (determine gender) to teach, Sonia took me to the Adelaide Research Centre. I was able to practice there (dead / loaded) of water snakes. The visit to the research center was simply indescribable. I could look in the archives by hundreds or even thousands of different Australian animals in jars on the shelves stood. The shelves could be moved back and forth electronically. After Sonia showed me and the researchers, such as the "sexing" works, we could try it too (it's tail takes in one hand and with her other hand a thin metal rod into the cloaca one - females = stick is only a tiny piece inserted, males = rod is inserted between 2 or more inches). After a few attempts, I could choose the sex of 100% right, so they tell me the same to a live snake - Yellow-faced whip snake - ranließ.
now I get more and more responsibility for our crew (Wwoof, students, assistants) and I am responsible to delegate the work and a few days ago, I was even allowed our students the "sexing" teach to snakes. And I've mastered quite well - apart from the fact that our students do generally quite stupid * lol *

On Monday, the fire departments Echunga, Meadows and Macclesfield had a practice together, where we "play" again with the water were allowed. I had a new application but not yet ...

Last week in Adelaide was a performance by the band "Elephant Casino" (I already reported about how I helped Brooke at a photo shoot), where we could all together. Before a nice dinner at "Noodle Kingdom" and then the appearance of the band. The rock music was good, unfortunately, they were probably not enough time to make a good sound check ...
Last weekend it was then to Adelaide - Saturday to Sunday. Laura wanted to visit a friend and invited me to one. In search of our dinner, we found the right at a sushi bar. After we queuing for half an hour for our sushi in the "Take Away" Snake (for a table we had over an hour outside on the street), it was back to Amely's (friend of Laura) Hostel, where we have the evening to ushered in the balcony with a wine. went against 23 clock then only in a sports bar (where we met Josh and George, friends of Amely) and then to a club called "Woodshed". Is the price of the club entrance, but we have the doorman bequatscht so long, why should we pay admission, until he left us so pure. Directly behind the entrance stood a (electric) Bull. None of our group dared to be the first up until I am swinging at the cops. I've not long be able to keep it, but it was fun animal. After I went up and everyone else. Then we waved us on the dance floor until we get back about half past four clock in the morning dragged into the car - where Laura and I were sleeping (Combi -! Very closely)
monitored the next morning we have about half past ten on - the pain in the back were to blame - and sneaked into the hostel. Today there should be free pancakes, unfortunately, was the mixture sau bad - baaahhh
... So it went without breakfast on the Aboriginal Museum, where we got to talking with Aboriginal museum administrator. She told us some of her life and her childhood, the problem between whites and Aborigines, which still exists. Then we strolled through a market in Adelaide (where we could watch the production of popcorn) and met an Indonesian Festival in the Park, where they gave away Indonesian Food, keyrings, Bottles and performed dances on stage.

I was this week once again in the cinema - "How to Train Your Dragon" in 3D. The film / animation is super sweet and worth it in 3D, in any case!

On Wednesday I went with Laura moved back to Adelaide - this time for the salsa hour. Nick and Vu (from Adelaide weekend with Anna) were also there. The salsa hours worked perfect and was almost too easy for me - basic steps and a turn they have taught us, and about 25 others. Our teacher, John was super funny and broke the ice with jokes. Then it went with all (based dancers, advanced and instructors) to salsa club where Nick and Vu immediately asked me to dance. Vu brought me then just in passing in all the steps and turns. This was soooooo much fun. Again and again we asked for a dance, and then the music changed to a different style. I watched couples dance as they danced close embrace. It looked so sensual that I wanted to learn. I came up with a young man (French Australian) into the conversation and then just grabbed my hand and led me into the hallway and showed me how to "Bachata" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiUxmHa6p8Y&feature = fvw) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyaxbEcvu9k&feature=related dances). Before then the club closed, I asked another young man to dance on. This time it was a dance called Zouk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNXg0ft3qD0&feature=related), but I had never danced before. He pulled me close to himself and then I let myself just cause only. It worked amazingly fantastic, and when the dance was over, Nick came up to me and said, "What was that? Do not say you have the never danced? "I was surprised by me. It was when I felt just like I have to move me - it was all automatic. I will be next Wednesday - to go back to dance salsa and I'm going to see if someone can record it, so you can see - at the latest what I mean. You see, I've rediscovered my passion for dancing and I will give this passion again. * Smile *

Episode II - Easter coastal trip

02.04. to 05.04.2010

Over Easter we have Wwoof (Claus and me) then get the days off. We used the opportunity of course, Friday's packed car with camping equipment, food and camera equipment and then it went off. We planned the route from Echunga to Second Valley and then back along the coast to Victor Harbour and Monday evening after Echunga. When we were about to jump in the car, ran Louisa works (with the dogs for hearing impaired and Friday helps us off) after us. She has a house in Goolwa (near Victor Harbour) rather close to the beach and asked us, Sunday to Monday to stay there. Sunday she had to return to the city. The rest sounded like!
Our first goal on Friday was also "Second Valley (located on the beach) and when we got there and out of the car got us a strong wind swept around the ears. And I am not just a sea breeze, I mean really, a wind / storm. After a short walk on - not as expected - very tiny beach, we decided to move on. Our next stop was "Rapid Bay," which also was on the beach. The beach was greater the camp without charge and the wind roared again. When we had nevertheless built up our tent on a tiny stain-free, the lady came out of the neighboring homes and said we should move a little further, her daughter would park their car there. We pointed out that this was not a parking lot but a camp, after she just said her daughter will make us have legs, if she comes back. Oh great! Begins the "holiday" so friendly it right on. We did not want to proceed with a destroyed tent or broken legs our trip (after saw all that is quite off), we decided to pack up and move on. Cape Jervis was then our last stop for Friday. We found a cute little old farm where we could pitch our tent, but unfortunately, the wind in the final hours of a storm / hurricane developed. The tent shook, the trees creaked and I did not sleep a wink. After three hours in the narrow rumwälzen sleeping bag, I decided to build my camp in the car. The full moon shone so bright that I do not even brought a flashlight. And when the car door behind me fell, the noise abated and fortunately I was able to sleep.

For breakfast there was an instant coffee, oats in milk with apple sauce and cheese on crackers. Not healthy, but after all campers manner. The wind had abated somewhat fortunately, so we decided to go to the beach at Cape Jervis. The beach even had access for cars, unfortunately we had no off-road vehicles ... We took a walk over the rocks in the water and met with palm-size crabs and tiny catfish-like fish
then went further to the Lookout at the ferry dock (between OFF and Kangaroo Iceland), Claus where a sea lion discovered in the harbor. So we are quickly driven down and shot some great pictures. The sea lion enjoying his bath in front of us. Then it went to
"Rapid Bay Jetty, (Pier). Here, too, offered us a nice backdrop for photographs - an abandoned gold mine. Sorry closed off and too many people were on the pier, so we do not pass on's site.
Since we wanted to spend the night at Victor Harbour, it was on the same. On "Parsons Beach" then we put up a stop again and enjoyed the walk on the rock-strewn beach and great view over the mountains and the sea. Here Claus then spied a group of dolphins who rode on the waves.
When we found our place in the Victor Harbour on a campsite, it started again to the beach with a nice hot chocolate. For dinner, we settled in a Greek restaurant - Yammy gyros and tzatziki.

The next morning I was woken with a hot cup of coffee and after I had destroyed my "oatmeal with apple sauce, it went again already exploring. The path took us first to "Goolwa" to Louisa's house. They received us very cute, showed us everything and gave us the keys. In order to waste no time, we went directly to "Granite Iceland. The small island is a bridge to the mainland and who is too lazy to run to 10 minutes over can ride on a horse-drawn carriage. We were so ...
On the island there are no cars, no shops (apart from a restaurant and a souvenir shop), but many trails which we explored. The coast ended on steep walls, or with huge rocks. After we shot lots of photos and enough gekrakselt over rocks were, it went to the restaurant - delicious barramundi (fish) eat. As we circled the island once, we went to relax on the beach at Victor Harbour. Unfortunately, I've gotten too much sun that day, so I am really bad at night and I was fortunately immediately fell asleep. We

after two nights camping now finally had a bed to sit on and a real roof over my head - I even had to take a real bath can - it was fresh and relaxed in the morning. Our first destination on this day "was Hindmarsh Iceland. The island is also connected by a bridge to the mainland. First, we reached a port with numerous small vessels, but apart from two jet ski riders, nothing happened here. To be honest, the whole area seemed deserted. The ships were abandoned in the harbor, the few isolated holiday homes had empty and the few trees that were here maybe had to give way to the empty cottages. No bushes, no trees could be seen far and wide - only emptiness. So we turned around and drove to the beach at Goolwa. As the wind kicked up the loose sand quite strong, we lay fairly close to the water - probably too close! After ten minutes we got off the first major wave and flooded our ceiling ...
After a leisurely stroll through the city at night, we made our way home.

When we reached our home in Echunga expected us not only our "family", but also our new co-Wwooferin Laura from England ...
