Spirit's Bay feral/farm horses.

We drove into the campsite and much to our delite on the other side of the river there were two herds of horses we decided to name them. Abby named four, James named three, and Mum and Dad named one each and I named sixteen. The name's were quite interesting Mum named hers Rat-bag (Ratty). Dad named his Coal Dust (Coal), Abby named hers Champagne Bubbles(Bubbles), Cupcake(Cutie) and Sugari D'lite(Sugar). James named his Pretzel(Pretzi), Golden Syrup(Goldy) and Mistletoe(Missy, though it was a boy). My favourite foal I named Hot Shot (Astra) then the rest I'll just tell you the nicknames of, Dream, Hawk, Angel, Saffie, Lass, Victori, Breeze, Aqua, Blade, Flame, Silvy, Shadow, Rose, Galaxy and Dusk. Though they are probably not as creative as I would have liked it is hard to find unique names for 16 horses and foals.

Dargaville.

At Dargaville there were lots of cats the person who owned the land had four, Bridget, Neighbour and I can't remember the others. There was also the next door ginger tom, Puma which we didn't see much of till the last few days and our favourites the farm cats 3 doors down who adopted us. Abby named the three big siblings Mullet, Opal and Princess(also a boy) and james named the smaller dainty one with the coat the colour of a possum, Bean bag(don't know why he just did). So that's what we called them we knew each on site since they all had something different, Mullet a smudge on his nose. Opal looks the same but without a smudge, Princess was more silvery and Bean Bag well he was completely different. Eventually the owner came around asking if we had seen there cats that had disappeared and we said they had been with us the whole time. She told us there real names, Mullet - Fuddley, Opal – Burria, Princess – Stripe, and Bean bag – Possum(Perfect describing name). They stayed at the owner house for the night and morning but were back in the afternoon. During the rest of the time we stayed there the owner had to keep coming back to collect. We also went to the library in Dargaville and got to get book out since we were staying for a week(Note most library don't do this) . I got a 900+ page book out and read it in 5 days which if you added it up would be more of 3-4 days since we were out 1 and a half days once I finished I also read two more books normal 200-400 pagers.
