So in my last post I talked about what I do on site and now I am going to briefly describe what I see. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to take photographs so you all will just have to use your poor old imaginations! We are in the middle of farmland and grasslands. The soil is deep red and the vegetation is pretty thin and low to the ground. There are few trees on site although I am sure that has to do mainly with the "clear and grub" that is done to prepare the area for work. What we are working on now is the earthworks for infrastructure work that will be happening. Basically that means that there is lots of dirt, rock, and more dirt and not much else.
Besides dirt we also have some fabulous creatures. And by creatures I mean insects. And by insects I mean HUGE bugs that look like they are on steroids. The other day I looked out the window and noticed these dark things on the screen. After looking closer, I realized they were giant cicadas the size of my fingers, not my pinky, probably closer to middle... Definitely prehistoric looking. I have also seen beetles the size of my fist and there has been a six foot long snake lurking around. On the upside, we have lots of cute kangaroos and Todd and I saw an emu the other day on the way to work. It is really nice to be working outside and we have made our commute fly by by reading to each other. We have just started Harry Potter, Todd's first time. I have to admit that I may have forced him into starting it but now he loves it! Yay reading time.
Despite my inability to take pictures on site, I promise to get a picture of me in my getup soon!
