YEAR 6 CAMP
What a wonderful three days we had – we had sunshine and rain. We travelled over 700km on our 3 day adventure into the outback. The students absolutely loved Discovery Parks at Mt Surprise and really enjoyed going through the Terrestrial Museum in Georgetown. They had a quiz to do but there was so much information to be shared about Georgetown and the surrounds. If you are ever travelling out that way it is a fantastic place to explore. Talaroo Hot Springs was very interesting with the stories that Thomas shared with us. Cheryl took us around the top of Kalkani Crater – Mrs Cole and Mrs Smith even learnt some more interesting facts about the crater. Cheryl portrayed the information about the crater in such an interesting way for the students! Another great place to visit is Pinnarendi Farm Stay and Café which is where we enjoyed pizza! Then off to home with some sleeping students. We think they had an amazing time!!
