Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We mainly just ate luch and didnt learn much well I didnt learn much , I mean I didnt learn much things that i didnt already know. But then we heard the news of us having to walk back to where we saw the bus which wasnt so far away but still it was quite far away let me re-phrase that 'More than 5000000000 Kilometres away'
This is what i was telling you about the thing that could not be exagerated enough. We had to walk from Manna's Outstation to Tea Tree Bush Camp luckily instead of goin in our groups we went as a whole big group we got to take the shortcut but that doesnt mean its still not hard.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! We had to follow a map to find the post and walk to manna's out station. Not to far, I may of over exagerated it a bit, but trust me what is to come can not be over exagerated enough. On the way we saw two old ruins of houses they were fascinating when we got to Manna's Outstation we had morning tea we learnt about an aboriginal painting.
Yum Yum Yum saying breakfast wasnt nice would be a lie. But saying it was better than dinner is true. Not much happened at breakfast except that we ate and drank stuff. So I guess that breakfast for you.
Beading I got a pearl and pearls are special. Why you may ask? Because you get choosen to have them. You want to know why I got one.... Because Im awesome. Nah! just kidding Or Am I?.........
I'm not trying to be mean but the food was Yuk most people thought that but every camp ussaully yuk food so nothing was different.
Yah!!!!!!!!!!! Personal Time. Me, Natalie, Krissy, Sarah.H, Sara.L, and Ms.O'Conner and Mrs.Hobba your probaly thinking Oh No teachers. But it was really fun I'll tell you why.............................................. I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easy Peesy, No seriously Easy Peesy i could do it blindfolded...... Maybe not. We had to follow the steps and the compass and find the letters on the rocks, But there were trick rocks. But in the end we got it all right, so there's nothing much else to say.
Scats=Poop and Skulls=Skulls. Yuk!!!!! is right definately right. The poop was concelled in a block of see threw rubber stuff. But the skulls were just plain skulls that were not concealed in anything. The whole point of Scats and Skulls is to Guess or Identify the animal the skull came from and with the scats we had to do the same thing. Your probaly thinking how are you ment to guess what animal the poop came from, but luckily we had a poop chart.
Bugs, Eeeeew! Is what your probaly thinking right now. But thats exactly what I thought. But then you actually catch the bugs. Its fun aslong as you dont fall in, which almost happened to Clara but I caught her. It was cool but we didnt do must Clasification and Identification we more just tried to catch them out of the tub and put them in the ice cube tray they're really fast.
What are Gaitors you may ask if you dont ask im still going to tell you so listen up. When you where gaitors you have to where long pants the ussaully start from just under your knee and over your runners and lots of confusing things that I cant show you unless I have the gaitors. Now for the games part. Fun, Team building games. We have two ropes about 2 and a half metres apart you have 2, 75cm long planks of wood. You can only step on the planks of wood and one person has to be touching them at all times otherwise you start again, the aim of the game is to get everyone to the other side. We finished on our second go. Yah Us!!!!!
There are 2 groups the Kangaroos and the Echidna's. Im and Echidna we did Health and Saftey. Scary or Fun? The answer is: Scary. Spider, Snakes and Bugs.Yuck!!!!!!!!!! We were told what to do if you see a Snake. Would you like to know? Trust me you do so here's what to do: If you see a snake stay stil and dont throw rocks at it. But i dont think you would do that would you? Anyway, slowly back away if you get bitten for some reasondont jump up and down screaming that will only make the venom move around faster, instead slowly sit down and call for help and get a friend to alert a teacher.
We left our luggage on the decking and went to the other decking to find out our cabins. Oh No!!!! Everyone wanted to be with their friends but the question was, Would they be? The tension was killing everyone had an idea of they're perfect cabin, so did I. They were down to the last 3 cabins me and some of my friends were still waiting I remeber the exact words: Cabin 2: Paris, Natalie, Adele, Sarah everyone in my cabin was on my list we were jumping up and down. Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were ecstatic we run to get our luggage and off to our cabin we were. There was one bunkbed and two single beds. I got top bunk, Adele who was at the swimming regionals and would be getting there later that day had the bottom bunk and Natalie and Sarah had the two single beds.
Finally, Im of the bus we all screamed "Allelujah" but wait theres a hill a downhill hill the bus could go down but if it did I dont think it would come back up so we had to drag our luggage down luckily i had a wheelie suitcase. Yah Me!!!!!
A bus drive from Melbourne to Ballarat doesnt sound so bad but trust me when you actually get on the bus its almost like hell not that i've been to hell. Or have I? No I havent trust me. Its not so bad but you get a bad headache and it all depends on who your partner is I had a good partner, Natalie. So it wasn't that bad
