6 August 2010

Today was a massive day. The boys finished off the daunting three day hike with Jamal and Jake tying in to be the first of the group to complete the hike. Meanwhile the girls had their second crack at horseriding which is by far one of the popular activities.

The three day hike was one of the harder challenges. It requires the allocated groups to cross 15kms of hills, creeks and bushland relying on their own navigational abilities to traverse the neighbouring terrain with only a little assistance from staff.

We believe all people who have been to Mt Binga or are experiencing it now agree that horseriding is extremely popular. Each student is allocated a horse for a session and you find that you bond with the animal. In the next weeks we will all be participating in a trail ride to show off our newly acquired skills in horsemanship.

Everybody is in high spirits at Mt Binga enjoying all aspects of what it has to offer.
