On the first day I set off my way to the Great Mary Lakes but got distracted by a waterfall. I’ve been collecting water from each site we visit and I decided I wanted to collect water from the bubbly space in between the water falling off a ledge and into a pool. I couldn’t reach it with my hands so I scavenged some scraps of metal and wire from the ruins of the old mine next to the waterfall and fashioned my self a big ladle to extend the reach of my arm so I could collect the white water.
