Today was just another day of rest after a busy week. We started the day at 7am except for Parker cabin who earnt not only a sleep in but a day free of jobs. Today was our last day to relax and prepare for our big 3 day hike leaving tomorrow. With a few of the instructors still out fighting the fire,they needed our full cooperation. Some students either finished any last minute washing, played card games or cricket on the oval while others just read books, wrote letters or simply relaxed.

Today was our first relaxing day where we had free time and got to do our washing for the week. We were happy to hear that we had an extra hour to sleep in. Everyone appreciated this time to finally lay back and write letters to family and friends. While a couple of staff members ran off to help put out a fire down the road, many games were played throughout the day including chess, uno, spades and poker. Overall everyone enjoyed the chance to relax.

We started the day off with a foggy assembly, moved onto the morning jobs and then had breakfast. Low ropes got cancelled due to heavy rain and a blackout last night so we did more initiative games.

After work we had a little bit of morning tea then back to the games. We had lunch and went off to the rotations for the afternoon. Activities included rope tying, sock hockey, baking and designing the Mt Binga t-shirt.

We had afternoon tea and got onto the afternoon jobs then had tacos for dinner. That was followed by dessert. After that we received our mail and played a game.
