School Camp =)

Tully once again proved why it's been named the wettest town in Australia. It's a pitty the rains had to fall whilst I was on school camp at Murray Falls ( approx. 1hr from Mission Beach) . Our camp ground was almost evacuated because of rising rivers and we were all cold and wet for 4 days. By far the highlight of the camp was attempting to float home-made rafts (with 20 kids on each) down the swollen Murray River. Most of us were very unsuccessful as parts of our rafts floated away before we could actually get on them. Apart from the rain, the camp was a great success and I would recommend Murray Falls to anybody looking for a nice place for a swim, picnic or camping spot.
