Lachlan's Broome Camp Experience

 
Broome Camp
Rrrrrrrr... The bus purred slowly along the road with the most awesome person in the world on it... who is me (If I can say so myself).  But on the bus I was sitting next to my friend Jaim who is 1% less awesome than me.  But now let’s get cracking on.
On Tuesday the first thing I did was do some team games where we had to line up in card order from ace to king and we broke the Broome Camp school record of eleven seconds and got 9.54 seconds! Then we went down to the surf and did some boogie boarding and I tried body boarding for the first time! At that moment in time I thought of my friend Jasper who was not able to come on camp. After lunch at the crocodile farm I saw Bluey and he nearly lunged at the fence and ate someone’s arm but they got out of the way just in time. We heard about a guy who was drunk, he came to the crocodile farm, climbed over the fence and got bitten by a crocodile called Fatso and then went back to the bar, bragged about getting bitten by a crocodile, he drank a few more beers and 2 years later lost his leg through infection. Later that night we had Team Feud and we used the Family Feud board game to play our game.
On Wednesday we had breakfast then we had a surf carnival where we had to run/wade/swim around Morph and Yindi and it was lots of fun. Then we had a Chinatown tour which I didn’t like because I had to do work. But at least we got ice-cream from Wendy’s which was awesome so thank you Mrs Rolton! Then I did the Amazing Race and I had to eat a cup of melted jelly without touching it with my hands and that made me look like a baby because someone in my team had to pour it down my throat and I choked twice.
On Thursday I had a camel ride and I was on a camel called Eli with Yasha on the back seat. That was lots of fun! Then I did prusiking and low ropes, first I did low ropes and that was when we were climbing along steel ropes and swing logs and stuff. Then we had prusiking and that is a difficult thing to explain so if you want to learn more just #googleit. Then we went to the Willie Creak Pearl Farm where we learnt how pearls are made, then went on a boat tour and we saw a pearl shelf that they put the oysters in. That night we had an Astro tour, where we learnt a lot about the stars, moon and how the earth spins.
In conclusion, that was a really fun holiday! I did all of these events: Bus ride to Broome, boogie boarding, team games, croc farm tour, team feud, surf carnival, Chinatown tour, amazing race, camel rides, prusiking and low ropes, Willie Creek Pearl farm tour, and the Astro tour. All of these events were ABSOLUTELY AMAAAAZZZZING!
