DAY 1:

It was too exciting to wait to get there. On the 7th of October we went to camp cave hill creek in Beaufort. It was a boring 12 hour bus ride and their were a lot of canola plants on one place, it looked like one huge yellow square. We arrived at cave hill creek and it was FREEZING! We got told out cabins and where they were. I was with Samuel, Albert, nick, Andrew, Carlos, Angelo and Dominic and we were the first room to the right (coming in from the front). As soon as we unpacked a cowbell rang for our first activity. My group was the kookaburras and our first activity was canoeing. When we were preparing for canoeing i was getting excited. Me and my partner didn't ever make it halfway because we kept on going around in circles or stuck in the edges or getting stuck in the reeds and almost getting hit by a branch. At the end we couldn't even paddle back to the exit. We had to get directions on how to paddle back to the exit. Our 2nd activity for the day was compass work and that was OK. We couldn't find the last post anywhere until the last minute. The last activity for the day was a photo trail. This activity reminded me of the amazing race... except you don't win anything, then when you get a question right then you get the next photo and the scores were in ticks. Me and my partner came last. That was the end of activity's. We had dinner and the chips were stale... but I still ate them. At the first night we went on the night walk and i was excited. About 15 minutes in i started to get a little fear of someone randomly jumping out and scaring us, thanks to a friend I got that fear. About half way through i just hear from Mrs Jackson "STOP! Your going the wrong way" Mr C almost got us lost and made us go through a trail called the glut. Mr Rassmussen, Mrs Jackson and other people who were behind went our seperate ways. It took a long time to find our way back to the camp.

DAY 2:

We only got 5 hrs of sleep. The cowbell rang for breakfast. We had cereal and toast and that was ok. That day we had 6 activitys. 3 before lunch and 3 after lunch then we had 1 activity all together. Tug-of-war and it was fun. we saw another or the same wallaby just around where we were and the teachers did a round of tug of war. Miss harrison and mr rassmussen were on one side and mrs rassmussen and mrs jackson were on the other side. After the last 3 activitys we had dinner then it was concert/disco night. My cabid did a catwalk act (i was a judge) then the disco was on. I left with other people a few minutes into the disco. Everyone was angry in my cabin then we slept.

DAY 3:

In the morning i got woken up and we told freaky stories. Today was the last day and the last 2 activitys. The cowbell Rang for breakfast then the activites started. The first activity was Low-Ropes Course which was REALLY annoying... i kept on falling off. The last group competition was a 3 rotation activity of running around the lake, archery and low ropes. The last group activity was hut buildingh. Ours looked ok and it was fun. When we got back we had to pack up and get ready for our last lunch. We grabbed out cases and we left cavehill. The bus ride back was fun and funny because i was acutally talking to someone. I liked cavehill better than rumbug, because you actually got rest in cavehill!
