Version 2 Monday 23 November

Hello everyone back home, hope you're all having loads of fun back home without us.

Early this morning the girls set out for a lone adventure into the world of solos while us boys back at camp saddled up our horses and began our last horse riding session for the camp.

With our horses saddled up and ready to go, the boys set out on an adventure into the vast bush scrub that surrounds the camp. While some may have been intimidated by the large animal carrying them, we persevered and came out the other end, happy and proud with the achievement we just made.

After horse riding, the boys tore into their lunch, leaving nothing uneaten. Full and ready, we gathered in the quadrangle. Separated into groups and assigned to a job and a teacher to work with. Some students drove large block splitters into wood, others cleaned out the chook pen and the lucky ones got to work on the compost bay our class is building.

Overall it was a great day and the boys had a load of fun. There were some tough times throughout the day but we all prevailed.
