Littletree has long been interested in Mt Everest, because it’s the highest mountain in the world, and she was thinking that Wollumbin must be almost as high as Everest.
It was a bit tricky to explain the relative heights of the mountains to her in a way that she could conceptualise, and since we didn’t even know how high Wollumbin is, Purple sat down with her to work it out.
First, the had to google to find out the exact height of Wollumbin (1.156 Metres)
Then Purple helped Littletree to work out a scale drawing of Wollumbin next to Mt Everest
Then they worked out how other mountains Littletree knows of, like Mt Fuji and Har Hermon.
Littletree was fascinated with the concept of being able to draw things to scale and working out how to do it :)

I was so happily surprised and ran outside to greet You, completely soaked by the rain within seconds.
