Day One

Canberra here we come !

Was all a bit hectic in Melbourne this morning with our cabbies fighting the good fight . Everyone was looking for an alternative route off of the Bolte and seemed to be going our way.

We finally, made it clear of Melbourne and stopped for a snack in Seymour before getting back on the bus and settling down to some dvds. Surprisingly , not many sleepers on the bus today - the excited buzz was pretty constant throughout the morning.

After a few more hours we stopped at the historic town of Holbrook for lunch and had fun in the playground and checking out the submarine.

After one more stop and a nod to "the dog on the tucker box" we eventually pulled into camp at 6pm. It was a quick turnaround to make it down for dinner but we were certainly all ready for some real tucker before relaxing with a dip in the pool.

It was then time for a quick shower and getting into pjs before heading back to our common room for a hot chocolate and quick review of tomorrow's agenda before bedtime. It's been a long day and the boys and girls nodded off pretty quickly. Wish us luck rousing them at 7 am tomorrow!
