Bluey and the Green Cord Hike (Part 5)
The Scouts and I headed out of the gates of Canning Sea Scouts, heading towards Murdoch University. They continued onwards until a bus stop, and they took the next bus, number 100, to the Canning Bride Station. There was a bit of a fuss getting correct change for the bus driver, but in the end, it was all sorted out and all the scouts sat together at the back of the bus. It was a great time to rest their legs before the day ahead. They passed the University and drove along the highway until they reached Canning Bridge Station. They got off the bus and walked down the steps to the underground platform where the trains arrive and depart.
Once they passed that, Tommy the Water Bottle fell out of Lucas's bag again, and almost rolled onto the tracks. Lucas caught him before that happened though, so they kept going until they realised they had to go back up the stairs. They went back up the stairs and took the path they were meant to take the first time, and followed it until they were walking next to the freeway. We walked up a spiralling overpass, attempting to make room for cyclists, and ending up on a side street next to the freeway.

We continued along it for a while and passed a small dog park on our way there. Not long after, a tiny labradoodle, with a frisbee in its mouth, and its two owners started following us. They talked to Kiwi for a while, while the puppy seemed to want to join us on our expedition. It trotted towards the front of our little convoy and walked as proudly as a miniature puppy could. It was more endearing and cute, honestly. Unfortunately, the adventure for the little pooch ended quickly, as we were nearing its home. It naturally turned in towards the house, along with its owners, who waved goodbye.
Then we continued on and on until we strode into the golf course, which was the next point on our map. We kept stumbling through it, passing a zebra pole, as Aimee repetitively pointed out, every ten or so metres. "Zebra pole!" They kept ambling along the path, making way for the occasional cyclists and other people on the route. "Zebra pole!" It was a very long walk, so at the end of it all, they were exhausted. "Red zebra pole!" They'd sat down on the nearest pole and had some more to drink. Except for Heath. He was trying to rally everyone into going again, even though they were clearly exhausted. I had to give the guy credit though; he was still standing. It was quite impressive.
They kept along the side streets as they made their way towards the City, it was a while before they stopped again. They walked along the zoo and continued towards the River. They had a quick stop at a shopping centre just across from the jetty but had to get moving again because the next ferry left soon, and they wanted to get to the Quay before lunch. Just before they got on the ferry though, Aimee dragged me over to the swings while everyone else filled up their water bottles and enjoyed the shade. She strapped me into the baby seat and started pushing me. A few seconds later, I was flying through the air. Not in a seat.
I was again brushed off, while Lucas and Hayley were told that I didn't like swings. I honestly didn't.
Then I was again snatched out of the air by Heath, who took me onboard the ferry with the others following after.
I am well, url. Yourself?
