We traveled from Poatina to The Blue Lagoon Christian Camp and Conference Centre today. Blue Lagoon is about 20 Ks east of Hobart and on the way to Port Arthur. Along the way we stopped at the Bonorong Wildlife centre at Brighton which has a fine collection of Australian native animals including Tassie Devils, Wombats, Bettongs, Kangaroos, Cape Barren Geese etc. Then it was on to Richmond for a pre-ordered lunch of pies. After lunch we had a look at Old Hobart Town which is an exact scaled model of Hobart in the early 1800s. Then we wandered around the rest of Richmond for a while, inspecting Australia's oldest bridge and Catholic church. We arrived at Blue Lagoon at about 4:30 PM and spent the rest of the afternoon playing Basketball, Pool and Table Tennis, before enjoying a meal at 6PM. Tomorrow will be a highlight as we travel to Port Arthur for a tour, and do a boat trip up the Eastern side of the Tasman peninsula. I must say that I have been really impressed with the behaviour of all of the students so far. They did an excellent job of cleaning up this morning at Poatina, and we have had no major issues at all. I hate to say it Mr Gilmour, but they have been even better than last years group (touch wood!). Everyone we have met along the way has been impressed with them, as a group of Year 9 students (and I don't give out bouquets easily, as Year 9 well knows!)

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you guys are having fun and everyone is behaving, enjoy the rest of your trip 😊
ReplyDeleteHey Maddie, Belle here. I think the cat peed in your room - only kidding. Can't wait till you get home.
ReplyDeleteMan of Custard missing you. And for the rest of you guys you seem to be having a great time, can't wait to see you back in science and I mean that most insincerely. Maddie just a bit of advice. If you remove the air from the cat you won't have any more troubles, flat cats are so much easier to look after.
