My new besties and I took a
tour of camp in our jandles. We went through
the bush to see the flying
fox
then past the candyfloss and jelly snakes stand. It was warm out and it was too
bad we didn’t have our togs, but they did offer
us some ice blocks from the chilly bin. Yeh boy they
were cool as. A sweet as
bay
even offered us a lolly as well. Chur bro! It took me a while to find the proper place
for my rubbish but she’ll
be right
.  

I’ve really been enjoying building friendships with staff
here at Camp Totara Springs. There is never a dull moment, if we ever had a
chance to get bored, we would simple ask each other “How do you say… “and the
enjoyment never ends. Everyone
here is so friendly and generous; I have felt so blessed.
