BBQ lunch with vegie skewers and swimming & ball games after lunch. The evening activity was a camp fire with cooking a low phe damper and story-telling.

Day 4: Education session with dietitians and social worker from The Children's Hospital at Westmead focussing on feelings, bithday parties etc. and a cooking session to make pizza and apple turnovers. The afternoon was spent swimming and playing basketball, tennis & at the park. As this was the last night, their time was celebrated with an evening disco.

Day 5: Campers were presented with awards for their efforts and participation but some had to leave for the airport immediately after.

Those who left later learnt how to throw a boomerang and then all caught the ferry back to Brooklyn wharf.
