Do Kolora Farm - By Ivy and Ariella
Yesterday the Grade Four, Five and Six students went on an excursion to Kolora Farm. We explored around the property. It was an incredible time to learn about the ways that they cared for wildlife and the land. We also learned about birds, bees and more - heaps more! We would tell you about it all but we can’t so here are some highlights... First was going on a big bushwalk where we saw thousands of animals, wild flower and trees. Secondly, we saw the Lancefield original reservoir and finally, lucky last we got to pat an echidna, see the original cottage and see an ancient trees.

Yesterday we went to a property in Newham. I saw kangaroos, birds and trees. We went on a big walk, we even saw beehives. I was lucky to go into the house and read books about animals. I had lots of fun today!
Kolora Farm - By Emily M
For 30 years Karl and Brigitte have been working on Kolora Farm to make it a safe and comfortable habitat for wildlife. They have done a fantastic job! The property is 150 acres of animal and plant heaven. Every tiny detail has been extensively planned, such as locations, bodies of water and the mixture of plants. Just one area was home to 62 species of birds. You could tell how much Brigitte and Karl cared for the animals and property; it really helped make the experience so much more surreal. During the tour, Karl really stressed how important biolinks were to keep the property running smoothly. Biolinks are an area of trees or bushland that aid animals in moving around the landscape. They are often located near a body of water. I left the farm with a whole lot of new insight into how the environment works. It was an incredible experience.
