Today was the last day that we were with our Canberra packs. We attended Breakfast (our last meal) together and then attended the closing ceremony together. It was quite sad to think that we now had to say goodbye to our Canberra friends, as they packed up their gear and pulled down their tents.
After the closing, the South Australians headed off site for a few hours to have lunch and to start our sightseeing. Lunch was at Hungry Jacks – we had placed our orders earlier and the leader in charge of the six went up and collected it. It worked rather well. Akela wishes she had a chance to go do a bit of shopping as she was simply hanging for some Ice Coffee.
Once lunch was done, we were back onto the buses and went to the Royal Australian Mint (www.ramint.gov.au) The Royal Australian Mint is a prescribed agency within the Commonwealth Government portfolio of the Treasury and is the sole supplier of Australia's circulating coinage. Besides making the national coins, the Royal Australian Mint also produces coins for over seas countries as well as medals, medallions, tokens and seals for private clients – both within Australia and internationally.
After spending several hours at the mint, we headed back to the camp site, where the main task was to shift people’s tents to be closer to the main dining area. Lucky, group 9 was basically already in place, so no shifting of tents was needed. It gave our cubs a bit extra free time, and a chance to go have a shower with no rush (or lines to wait in as we were previously). It was certainly apparent that the Cubs needed and appreciated the free time after being on the go for so long. They were certainly noticeably more freash afterwards.
Evening entertainment tonight was a movie for the cubs and leaders. Certainly appreciated by many the chance to sit down and relax.
