Additional activities/information • Read the diary entry below to the students. CAMPING WITH DAMPER ‘Today we go camping! We get up early. First Uncle and Auntie and our two cousins arrive in their truck, then Grandma and Grandpa. We are all going camping at the Gardner River! We close and lock the farm gate and drive south along the gravel roads through jarrah and red gum forests. Then we eat our lunch and drive on through the karri forest until we bump onto a sandy track and we know we are almost there! ‘The sea,’ we shout, ‘the sea!’ And there it is, behind the sandhills. We camp nearby on a fl at stretch of green grass with the Gardner River running through the sandhills to the sea and little creeks running into the river. In the green grass is an old well. We fi ll the water bag with water and tie it to a branch with an enamel mug to drink from. We help the grown-ups put up the four tents. One is especially for us children. Then we unload the camping things except for a bag of fl our. It is too heavy. We always bring fl our to make damper. And we bring axes, rope, fi shing lines, camp stretcher beds, a tin bathtub, buckets, a camp oven, marron nets, torches, hurricane lamps, honey, tea, salt, sugar, apples, billies, frying pan, cricket bat, tennis balls and bait. The grown ups take their fi shing lines to the beach at high tide to catch fresh fi sh for tea. We play cricket with an old wooden box for a wicket. The fi sh is very good and Grandma makes damper in the camp oven on the camp fi re. We cook our own damper, twisted around long sticks and turned over and over in the hot coals of the fi re. We eat it • Say the rhyme with the actions again for the class. • The class claps the beat while saying the rhyme. • The class says the rhyme with the actions. with lots of honey and listen to the grown-ups talk around the camp fi re while Uncle plays his mouth organ. Our fathers fi ll the buckets from the well, heat the water on the fi re and pour it into the bathtub. Each of us has a hot bath before bed then we talk and talk and talk and the grown-ups let us talk until we fall asleep one by one. Next morning we rush out of bed, get dressed, rush over to the fi re to eat breakfast and rush to the sandhills to play. The grown-ups are going fi shing so we fetch our fi shing lines and rush after them. We fi sh on the morning rocks at low tide. We swing our fi shing lines round and round and let the sinker and the baited hooks fl y out to sea. We eat the fi sh for lunch and later we go up the river with the grown-ups to catch marron. Marron are delicious black freshwater shellfi sh. We use drop nets with old meat for bait and drop the nets near an underwater log where marron like to hide. We are allowed to pull up the nets. We pull them up fast. It’s so exciting! Sometimes we get one marron, sometimes two and sometimes more. ©R.I.C. Publications Low Resolution Images Display Copy Back to the camp for tea. We boil the marron in a large bucket of hot water with a spoonful of salt and a pinch of sugar and pour them onto a large clean cloth, shell them and eat the tails. They are really good. Then it’s hot baths before bed and we try to talk but we fall asleep.’ J L Summer 1928 Discuss what the family did while they were camping.
