Hi everybody!!! On Monday most of the Stage Three people went to camp in the Royal National Park near Sutherland. The name of the campsite was Rathane.
We were put into groups and given our cabin. They were really small – only 4 or 5 people could fit in them.
It was so fun! There were many activities that we could do like canoeing, water sliding, rock-climbing, Billy carting, bush cooking and low ropes.
Canoeing was really fun but Emily kept freaking out!!!!! Serge and Akaati fell in the water but luckily they didn’t drown – thank heavens for life jackets. Minnie and Wafa were useless – they didn’t know what to do and all they did was laugh. Wafa also continually screamed – she even frightened the cockatoos who thought she was a new species!
The Waterslide was one of the best activities that we did! We had to get on a mat and slide down. Rock-climbing was unreal!!!!! I climbed right to the top!!!
Billy carts were fun but we made ours wrong and in the middle of the race the wheel fell of!!!
Bush cooking was fab!! We had to make a small fire (not a bush fire) Find a cooking stick wrap some dough around it and cook it in the fire!!!! When it was cooked we had to pull it off the stick, pour some maple syrup in it and eat it!! It was some nice damper!!!
Low ropes was an obstacle course where you had to walk along some ropes but the best part in low ropes was the tyre on a rope, where you had to glide along the rope leaning on a tyre!!!
