The first day of Realise we pilled on the bus eager to get to camp. When we arrived we explored Wambana and settled into our cabins. The teachers cooked us a bbq and we headed off to bed.

Tuesday 13th of September -

We got up bright and early and played a game off rob the nest. Our first outing at Wambana was to the York Town Foodland. Most people went over their budget but my Waddli managed to be under. We unpacked our food excited with all the cooking we had planned.

Wednesday 14th of September -

Today was the first day we went for a run. We dragged ourselves out at bed at 7 and set off. Its about 3 and half km along the walking trail next to the coast. We then set off to the op shop to get something historical as we were going to various Museums. Most of us decided to wear an old fashioned nighty. We had to wear it all day. Many people glared at us as we explored the farming museum in Kidena and the mining museum in Moonta wearing nightys. It was a fun day!

Thursday 15th of September -

Thursday we packed our bags to go camping in Inis National Park. We arrived their and started to pull out introduced species that were becoming pests. Then we went to one of Inis's beaches and picked up rubbish. They have the most amazing beaches there. We were lucky enough to get one of the ranges to show us an area of the National Park where no one is allowed to go. It was an old salt farm. It was run during World War 1. It had crystal salt piles and and glistening salt rivers. It was so pretty! Then we went back to camp and had some dinner and set the tents up. When it became dark we went on walk to find endangered wallabies, they were so cute! When we got back to camp we were all so tired we went to bed early.

The next day we went picking up rubbish and pulling weeds around the camp site. Then we went to a really nice surfing beach and picked up rubbish, we even saw a snake! Then went back to Wambana just in time for chill out and dinner. Friday was pizza night. Pizza night is my favourite night. We cook them on the big wood oven, so yummy!

This week the Weather wasn't as good as last week so some days we had to stay in and do a range of things. We still went for runs or played games.

I saw sting rays, jelly fish and many other creatures, it was amazing!
