Canberra Camp Blog 2024

The students were grateful for a sleep in this morning and were welcomed with a large array of spaghetti, sausages, pancakes and other breakfast goodies. Adults were very keen to see COFFEE. We arrived at the Australian War Memorial with plenty of time for morning tea and to ensure our two representatives, Tilly and Chase, were organised to lay poppies at the Stone of Remembrance.

An extremely early wake up call tested students as they crawled out of bed at 5:30am and attempted to eat breakfast with their eyes closed to hit the road at 6:30am. Morning tea at Glenrowan was an enjoyable stop as the sun was starting to warm up and fresh fruit supplied by She’s Apples filled our bellies. The students were engaged with facts about the famous Ned Kelly. Subway lunch was fantastic with the view of the Dog on the Tuckerbox. The students were able to learn more history from the area along their travels about the pioneer monument. When we arrived to Canberra, we parked at Lake Burley Griffin for a quick snack then split into two groups.
