Omarunui Landfill

The other day we went to the Omarunui Landfill.We travelled there by bus. First we had to put on yellow fluro vests and the adults had to put on orange fluro vests so then if we got lost then we could be found. We were looking at the storm water pond and Jacque was telling us that there used to be eels and frogs but there's no more frogs now because the eels ATE THEM! Then we got back on the bus and travelled to valley A and we were looking down at valley D.   Jacque was telling us how a rubbish pie is made. This is how to make a rubbish pie...First you need a valley then some clay, fluff, plastic, rubbish more clay, top soil and last of all grass. Then on vally D we were looking at the pile of rubbish WOW! That's a lot of rubbish. It was a huge mountain of rubbish and those seagulls are really really really loud. I couldn't even hear myself talk. We could also see the methane gas burning.
