Schoolies

So the trip consisted of me and nine friends hiring a house down the coast and staying there for a week. Far better than camping, and really close to the beach, with no adults. The place we stayed at was Lake Tabourie, but to get there we had to drive just over two hours.

Took us four.

The view as we drove

Of course, this was because we stopped for lunch in a town called Berry. Lovely town, very nice buildings and the best lolly shop I've seen in years. About the halfway point of our trip.


   

One of Berry's buildings, and a shot from inside the lolly/ice cream shop.

Then there's the nearly city... This is Ulladulla Harbour- two minutes from the CBD.

I must admit, the actual lake wasn't as nice... This is Lake Tabourie

    

Fun to kayak on though, if a bit smelly. 

But then there was the beach- the one you can see a bit of in the picture on the right. Beautiful, although unpatrolled so we swam at our own risk. 

However, we spent most of our time at the beach exploring Crampton Island- which we renamed Mordor. One of those island you can walk to, except at high tide, we would simply walk the ten minutes to get into Mordor whenever possible.

Mordor. Or Crampton Island. Whichever.

It had an awesome view from the top of it:

...Yeah, my camera isn't the best. Hope the view comes through anyway!

Of course we did our own cooking- and experimented a bit. Here is a pizza with an entire packet of cheese on it (750g), and possibly pineapple... no one managed to find it. Tasty though.

I was just glad there wasn't chilli in it...

We actually spent most of our time playing video games and just hanging. One day, we spent hours playing Buzz Jungle Party (in French when no one speaks it) and ended up with a tie.

Final photos (the rest have my friends in them and I'm not willing to post those without permission) is of the river across the road. Leads into the lake, and while not safe to swim in, was quite fun to kayak in.

Not exactly the prettiest river, but so very close.

Somehow though, I have a dozen pictures of myself or pictures I couldn't have taken... It's very odd.

Right, who stole my camera while I was sleeping?!

Hi! I came from your post in the Hetaween Meme. I go by the same screen name at FFNet.

I myself also do not have favorite characters, and can't decide who should have won the costume contest. I think everyone should have won as long as the costume is not nasty or improper. I don't like incest either.

I know what you mean about exams. I've been through them. I didn't lost sleep or social life during the event since I didn't even know about it. All I knew was there was a Halloween strip, and some discussion at LJ, but nothing about an event.

Your puppy is cute and pretty. What kind of dog is that?

You are beautiful, too. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Did you have a week of school break?

Awesome! Nice to meet you. =)

I know! They were all so amazing...picking is so hard. And I just have all the characters as my favourite.

Everyone has... why must we be tortured like this?! Ah... that sucks. I mean, the losing sleep was a bit bad but the event was amazing. There's another one for Christmas- maybe you should look out for that?

He's a Border Collie. An odd colour, I know.

*blushes* Thank you. Ah, no. I just finished school so we went on a trip to celebrate.
