When I arrived, 9C was right in the swing of completing their daily duties. Many of the boys helped clean up the breakfast area before they departed to The Palms. I have been told watch out for the bats!!!
The girls were hard at work chopping wood for the fires and stacking the hay for the cows and horses. I think the girls’ efforts and quickness to complete their tasks would have definitely given the boys a run for their money.
The girls looked like they were mastering their horse riding skills and were grateful to go on a short trail ride.
The quick hustle and bustle of Binga life finally slowed down at lunch. It was great to see every one relaxed and sharing their stories over lunch. Apparently during the girls Survival camp, the Greasley girls had a gate crasher, a pademelon kept trying to jump into their tent. The Richter girls were given an early wakeup call by some very vocal Koalas.
During the boys Survival camp, Matt Duthie found the remains of a kangaroo foot. Some of the hazards on camp voiced by the boys: watch out for the man made swings, Joel learnt the hard way and of course the burnt cooking (tacos) strongly advocated by the Shultz cabin.
When the rosters came out there was a mad rush to see who was allocated what. To Lachlan’s dismay he discovered he had 3 duties.
It was great to see that Bonny had taken up my advice and there have been no more scrapes (hee hee hee).
Alas, it was time to say farewell to 9C who loaded me down with letters for people back at school. 9C says thanks for the encouragement , sorry some of us have been slack and please send more letters.
