Our lucky Year 7 students recently enjoyed a six day adventure to the Fraser Coast region staying four nights at Campialba and one night on K'Gari (Fraser Island). The weather could not have been better with warm days and plenty of sunshine and all the students were treated to a host of amazing activities. The first day was a visit to the most amazing beach side parkland with huge slides and climbing nets that kept the kids busy before they set off on a whale watching experience in Wine Glass Bay. The most inquisitive and friendly whale lingered around the boat for about 30 minutes giving all the students a very up close and personal encounter. On Day 2, the group travelled in to Maryborough to visit the Military Museum and War Memorials in Queen's Park. Maryborough is steeped in military history with the first soldier taking a step on the beach at Gallipoli being from Maryborough. The volunteers in the museum were very impressed by the great behaviour of our students and commented on their genuine interest in the amazing displays. On Day 3, the students joined Eco Tours leader Aaron for an Indigenous experience on Round Island which is a very small undeveloped island just outside of the Harvey Bay Marina. The students had the whole island to themselves to roam on and explore both on the land and in the rock pools. Aaron smoked oysters from the rocks and taught Indigenous ceremonial dancing and digeridoo playing. Everyone rose very early on Thursday to venture over to K'Gari for a full day of touring the world's largest sand island. Students visited Central Station in the satinay forest, Lake Mackenzie, Eli Creek and the wreck of the Maheno before enjoying a delicious buffet dinner at Eurong Resort. Friday was another huge day of travelling but the weary Year 7 students enjoyed the time to laugh, sing, watch movies and remember the amazing week they had on the Fraser Coast.
