Abby is the expert on holding the eggs before they goes to Willowbank

Abby looks after the eggs while they are waiting in the incubator to go to Willowbank.

She washes and weighs the eggs.

Why do you think she is wearing gloves?

In the helicopter taking the eggs to Franz base

Here we are, hanging onto the egg carriers very carefully!

The helicopter was the safest way to get back to Franz Base. Why do you think that was?

This was the fantastic birds eye view from the helicopter down the Waiau River.

The first rowi egg to go to willowbank!


We reached in the burrow to get the egg out.





Then we put it in the chilli bin with a hot water bottle inside to keep it warm.

After that we walked to the helicopter carefully
to catch the helicopter back to Franz Base.
