Travels of a Zen Dog "He knows not where he's going For the ocean will decide - It's not the destination......It's the glory of the ride" - quote by Edward Monkton

I wanted to do something other than just travelling whilst away so I joined Conservation Volunteers of Australia(CVA) for 2 weeks. We spent the first week working at a wetlands site near Mount Tamborine clearing away non native plants and trees. The second week was spent at Beaudesert doing much the same but this time in a small valley. The 2 groups of people I worked with were really fun to be with and although the work was sometimes tiring there was lots of free time available. The 2 team leaders Laura and Justin were both great people and made the 2 weeks very enjoyable. I will take away a lot of memories from my time with CVA - Ceo "go go shin" Chul breaking the log bridge and playing 99 and liar card games with everyone. I will miss all the new friends that I have made - but I hope to see them again in the future and I know that we will keep in contact.
