The scene opens at Clifton Hill Primary School with students arriving on the downball courts (stage), two or three at a time, carrying loaded bags and teddies ready for their school camp. Some of the students are overflowing with excitement while others feel home sick-one of them hasn't even been past Costco. We see four students having fun, chatting and playing downball followed by a ‘rude’ yet hilarious announcement coming from the teachers.
And then we meet our main characters. Our scene continues with the children waiting for the bus and the adventure ahead. You will join them on their trip around the country, as they learn interesting facts about Indigenous people and animals of Australia.
This scene is filled with fun, laughter, happiness and adventure. So sit back, relax and enjoy.
