Day 4: A rainy day didn’t stop us from enjoying Salamanca markets, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, and preparing for the 2024 Year 9 Tasmanian Showcase.
Day 5: At Port Arthur, we focused on respect while exploring history, followed by a thrilling, chilly jet boat tour around the coast.
Day 6: We packed up and visited Richmond’s historic bridge, then ZooDoo, where feeding kangaroos was a highlight. We appreciated the care students showed each other as the trip progressed.
