I'm not going to spout a useless opinion but instead give a recount of my experience at this camp. My grade and I went to the great aussie concentration i mean bush camp for 3 days and 2 nights.
We arrived on the first day quite nicely. We all gathered around the camp area and were introduced and welcomed. We then got into our tents. We stepped in and the first thing we noticed was the hot humid tent. We got over that as our expectations were low because of the fact the tents made it seem like it was an area for prisoners of war. However, the people in the tent were surprised the find a human tooth on the floor (form your own opinion on that). My friend kicked the tooth out of the tent and we started getting our sleeping bags out and placing them on the bunks. To which we were introduced to the mould. We tried to ignore it and went straight to lunch. Now the food in the pictures is NOT what the students get it is what the teachers get. Instead we get a patty which seemed like it was microwaved then boiled but somehow not over cooked. In the end the activities were a saving grace for this place they were completely decent and at least met minimal standards.
On the second day, we were waken up by a horn. To be perfectly honest it was fine but just be prepared for it. Breakfast was probably the best meal there. We had multiple options but i stuck with the cereal (mainly cause i knew they couldn't mess that up). Now this day was quite enjoyable. Until we got to commando. The activity itself was fun. For those who don't know it's a night activity. You have to go around trying to locate the hostages without getting caught. The main problem was the fact we weren't allowed to use torches. This caused multiple problems with people getting cuts from sticks. If only there was some way to see them .
The third day was no different to the other days. Woken up, did activities and ate bad food with dirty utencils (they put them in a tray and give them a rinse). It was all fine until a little teenage drama happened and an instructor told a kid to "do it you p*ssy". This was honestly quite unproffesional but for the most part the instructors were nice and friendly.
So there it is a recount of events that will help whoever is going there get a rough idea of what they're getting into. Here's a tip bring thongs for the shower. Just trust me.
TLDR; food is badly cooked but tolerable and the food in the pictures is for the TEACHERS NOT THE STUDENTS. Don't expect a hygienic place to sleep. Consider bringing an air matress if you're not interested on sleeping on a sleeping mat. But activities are fun.
