Camp

On September the 7th I went on a 6 day camp. From Coolangatta to Sydney, from Sydney to Smiggin Holes snow field, from Smiggin Holes snow field to Canberra and Canberra to Coolangatta.

On the first day, I had to wake up at 5:00 AM to go to the Coolangatta airport. I waited for half an hour to get on the plane. We arrived at Sydney and the Sun was finally up. We walked around and all the history got absorbed into our brains after we got a history lesson on a boart sailing around the Circular Quay. We went and got our ski gear and stayed at Vikas Lodge.

On the second day, I woke up at Vikas lodge with a massive foot ache. I had Duffa in my arm and I was happy (duffa is my teddy). I got up and saw half the cabin having a big long arguement. I could tell that our debating lessons came in handy. We got ready to go to the snow. When we arrived at the snow, we went to our Ski instructor. He taught us how to Ski down the hill and the first try I fell over. Now he wanted us to turn on the hill, I did a 360 degree turn. We left and headed back to Vikas lodge.

On the third day, I woke up at Vikas Lodge but this time I had no footache! I got up and half the cabin was asleep. I looked at my watch and it said 5:55 AM. I woke my whole cabin up at 6:30 AM. We went to the snow but this time we had a French instructor. He was better than our first one and he was just Wonderful. Today I got to go down the big hill and I fell over once or twice but now I can just slide down. We left and headed towards Canberra, we all watched Like Mike 2 the whole time. We arrived at Eagle Hawk accomidation at New south Whales. The teachers let my friend and I sleep in the Special Cabin.

On the fourth day, I awoke from my sleep. My friend's snoring was massive so I decided to snore louded which woke him up. Today we were heading to Questacon, a massive science and fun museum. We went on rides like the earthquake house and the rollercoaster, even the shark cage. It was awesome! At the end of Questacon I went and bought a voice changer and a optical illusion kaleidascope. We headed towards the governor generals house, we didnt get to meet her but her house was the best house ever.

On the fifth day, I woke up and my friend was awake using my voice changer. I got up and told him that we were going to Parliament House today. He was absolutely excited and ended up whacking my on the head. We headed to parliament house and did a role play and I got an award for being the best debater. We looked at the House of Representitives and the Senate and they were Awesome. We kept seeing the same Girl School wandering around as well. We also headed towards the War memorial to look at the war memorials and get a better look at our history and role in war.

On the last day, I woke up and told my friend that we were going home today, we both cheered and accidently woke the teacher up, Oh OH we thought. We left and headed towards Old Parliament House and we had to wear special gloves. These were to not contaminate any of the statues or things. We checked the house of Representitives and saw 2 dummies on the storie above us. They were the press and they scared me. In the Senate I got dressed up as the Governor General and it was great. We headed towards the Australian Institute of sport and we got to learn everything about sport and get to play sport like dodgeball and soccer. We headed towards the airport and went to coolangatta and I saw my mum and nan and hugged them.
