Expo Experience by Erin Print
Written by Erin, Snowy River Campus Term 3 2013   

Yesterday I was student leader for the day with Lewie. I had to make sure everyone was organised for each class and headcount. I also had to help Mrs Hopkins with the linen as we had to change our bedding. Last week my group went on our first expo which was so much fun. We hiked 7 kilometres through the sand on the first day, camped overnight and the second day we once again hiked 7 kilometres but this time it was on the gravel as we followed the power lines back to campus.

Expo Experience

The second day was a lot easier than the first as we didn’t have the sand. Camping was different. We had to cook our own food on the Trangia stoves, use a circle on the ground as our table, use the bush as a toilet and sleep in a tent. It was one of the best if not the best experience I have had here at Snowy. Once I had completed the expo I felt really good about myself because I completed something I thought would be a real challenge. It put me out of my comfort zone, I tried something new and it ended up being fantastic.
