See also the Founders Day in Melbourne website

We went to Melbourne by train, we marched around, it was more walking around, then we sat on the steps of parliament and had to listen to people. We did our scout promise again, then we walked to the park and ate lunch then we we split into two groups and did some activities, we saw a giant birthday cake, it had the scout symbol on it and the photo of BP. at one activity we had to hit these blocks that came down a tube, I hit two of them, I wanted to do plaster painting. I did not get it done because anouther scout took off and I had to go. There was a bridge where we liked to go over the same other scout took off again and I had to go and look for him, the rovers gave out free ice with cordial we had to answer questions I was asked what rovers do and I said build cars it was correct. There was a abseiling trailer but this Scouts took off again, there was a water activity with no water you had to go throw a course with a faked canoe which you had to carry, there was food, there was hear dying I wanted to get it dyed it was taking to long to wait for my turn. After we went on a tram and we were allowed to go into the drivers cabin that was in the back of the tram we got off at the dogs and saw the boat that stops wale hunters and gives free tours on the boat we went on the top deck but not on the money deck and one of the scouts spat down into the water and it took a wile until the spit touched the water. The monkey deck is where all the radar is. than we rushed to the train station and went on a fast train but a lady did not let anyone on the toilet as she got off we got on the toilette. two of the carriages where full of scouts.
