My day of Leoporsy

.

My name is Will Vailane I am diagnosed with leporsy I got told in 1906

There was no cure to it, I got moved too Quail Island too live. It was so I couldn't in counter anyone and spread the diseases. I had my own small house because I hated living in the hospital. When I wake up I have too wait for my caretaker Mr W.Thomas he would bring me breakfast because I was incapable too make myself breakfast so he would bring it to the gate. So he couldn't get leprosy by touching me. I couldn't read books but I could look at pictures. I got too call my loved ones and friends. But when I had the disease i started to hear birds singing the waves, brushing against the rocks and I could hear the trees swishing against each other. Also I can hear nature while I was there. It was peaceful. At 12:00 I'll get fed lunch. I got cut wood so I wasn't cold at night. At 9:00 I thought about the world of what I could of done, and what it's like too live without the leoporsy. I hoped into bed and then i fell asleep waiting for another day of leprosy.

Quail Island

What does the name Otamahua  mean? Quail island 

Where does the name Quall island come from? Settlers came there were a bunch of quails on it fleeing from them.

How big is the island? Kinda 80 hectares

How was the island created? The island was just a bump in the water and when the sea levels lowered it came out of the water and created a island 

What wildlife is present on the island Tarapunga, Korora, Terns, Shags, Oystercatchers, Piwakawaka and Iriroro.

What food did they gather from Otamahua? Shellfish, birds’ eggs, the eggs were considered a great delicacy. The waters around Ötamahua 

How have introduced species (animals/birds/insects) damaged the environment. The ferrets eat the native birds eggs so the can't be born and then there aren't enough birds to carry the seeds.

What rules has The Department Of Conservation created to help protect Otamahua? Fire is a real danger – do not take matches or cigarette lighters. Be careful with the bags you take on the island.. Check them for unwanted stowaways like rodents. Take all your rubbish home. Take care when walking. Watch out for holes and tree roots and be cautious when walking
