School from Tonga visits Belltrees

61 School kids from Tonga came to visit Belltrees as part of an Australian Exchange School Program. When the doors of the bus opened the atmosphere came to light as the magnificent Tongan voices sang and laughed their arrival.

Anto showed them the art of branding calves , handling young horses, weighing steers and working polo horses. What an eye opener for the kids. One of the boys, Pita, billeted at Ed and Paulina's house, was dressed "Australian" for the special occassion. He had never been on a horse before.
