Sunday November 23

Today we had our chapel service.
It was pretty comfy in the little cabin.
Lots of people did their washing today, but other than that we basically did nothing except playing a couple of games of football and soccer.
One of the boys cabins, called Schultz, which is our cabin, lost the sleep in and had to do all the work with only 5 people.
Tomorrow we are going on our Solo camp out.
It should be good to have some time and space to chill.
We had a massive barbecue tonight, and it was goooood…..with our first steak of the camp and rissoles, as well as some nice sausages.
All is alright up here….looking forward to coming home.

Things are going really well up here.

Today was mainly washing and free time.
I have never seen so many guys run to a washing machine!!!!
Some of us went to 'The Lease' to give the other cows and the bull water.
We are having a great time, but every one is excited that there is only one week left and that we can go home and see friends and family.

Hi everyone.

Today was the first day of the week it hasn’t been raining!!
So.... we actually got to go out and do stuff...yay.
We were quite excited!!!!
We went abseiling and rock climbing!
On the way there in the troopie we had a singing session and Mr. Grieger sang along. It was good fun.
KEEP WRITING LETTERS !
For dinner we had sausages and mashed potato and last night we had spaghetti.
It was good!
We discovered the pet spider in Greasley (a cabin ).
See you all in 7 days !

Today the boys came back from their Survival at Emu Creek Hall because of the storms.
The drive back to Binga was detoured in a different direction because the roads were flooded!! While the guys were coming back the girls drove out to see a creek that had over flown onto the road, it looked really cool.
When the boys got back everyone did our flat ground abseiling, and tomorrow were going abseiling....yay!!

Bye from Hannah and Ryan.

Wednesday November 19

Well hello from Taylor and Teagan.
The girls and guys Survival was detoured to Emu Creek Hall due to bad weather warnings.
The girls got back this morning and had an awesome time making damper; playing tug of war, catch the cow, skipping, wheel barrow races and sack races.
We slept on a heap of wooden chairs, which wasn’t that comfy!!
When we got back saw the guys and then they left for there Survival.
Then we headed off to ‘jail’ at Googa Creek.
We had to escape a little jail like thing with only a bbq scraper as a mirror and some sticks.
Our time was 44 minutes which wasn’t that good but we got outta there.
The guys time was something like 20 minutes, which we weren’t too happy about but we still know were better than them!
Only 9 days left and its gone sooo fast…cant wait to see family and friends again its going to be SWEET!!!!!

Take care
Love Taylor and Teagan

Monday November 17


Today felt like it was pretty boring!

Due to bad weather the girls Survival was proponed till further notice.
The boys were ready to go abseiling but could not because of the weather.
Instead we had our third horse riding lesson we went on our first trail ride.
We did not go very fast, but it was ok.
The other groups that were not riding horses were doing other jobs around the camp.
Nothing much exciting happened today and the weather was miserable with a low fog set in for the day.

Today, Family Day was a very fun day for every one.
We messed up our devotion but we had lots of food and it was good fun.
We played footy with the family.
Our families were happy to see us.
At the end of the day when the parents left, the boys had to pack everything up.
We had to eat all the leftovers before 7:00pm
