Murrurundi and Paradise Park

Our first week of volunteering was spent in an old out of use convent in Murrurundi known as Murrurundi House, there were rumours in the town that the convent was haunted, we thought it was as it was very creepy and dark and the lights used to go off by themselves and we caught strange things on camera!
We also went to Paradise national park for a walk one evening after work and then we went on a kangaroo hunt and we found plenty!
