Going to Central Australia with my class was a once in a lifetime experience. It was amazing! I still can’t believe how big and beautiful Uluru is. I think it should be a compulsory journey for everyone to have. People probably think that the long bus trips every day would be the worst part, but surprisingly they were one of the highlights about the camp. I talked to so many more people that I wouldn’t usually talk to and made so many more close friendships with people I would never have expected to connect with. This trip really brought us all together. There were some hard times as well. For example staying overnight by the side of the highway with no running water or toilets. Then in the middle of the night there was a dust storm. At the time it was horrible, but now, looking back at it, its just a funny story to tell everyone. Going on this camp made me realise how we take the little things in life for granted.
I loved seeing different parts of Australia that I hadn’t seen before and all of the different cultures. It has inspired me to travel more of Australia! This camp was amazing! I am jealous of the year 9 class that get to go on this camp next year. I would love to do it again.

From sandstorms to 9 hour bus trips, camp was really all about overcoming challenges and obstacles each day. It created opportunities to build existing friendships and to to make new ones which helped to bring different people in our class together. A big part of it was experiencing new parts of the country which many had known about and seen pictures of, but never actually been to. Once we began to get further out west it became quite a shocking reminder of how lucky we are in the Northern Rivers to have clean water, as a large percentage of communities we visited didn’t have that luxury. Over all I think everyone benefited greatly from the experience and although many were glad to be home there were abundant memories made that won’t be forgotten.
