Day 1 - Arrival

The early morning start to the day coupled with a very informative and long walk through the city took its toll on both the students and staff with most happy to catch up on some must needed shut-eye when we finally got back to the hotel around 9:30pm.

The walking tour took in many of the quirky hidden treasures of Melbourne as well as some other places that we probably won't want to visit in a hurry! The stench of one of the laneways in Chinatown proved too much for some.

Some of the students tried their hand at spray painting; however it would be fair to say that their efforts (most simply sprayed their own names) didn't quite compare to the authentic paintings on show.

The students had some downtime in the games arcade immediately following dinner. Given how exhausted most of us were it was more impressive that we managed to stay awake for as long as we did. Air hockey proved to be one of the more popular activities with Dougie and Nathan proving too good against the more experienced pair of Lachlan and Mr Ibrahim.

After a fairly low-key start to the tour, I think it's fair to say that everyone is looking forward to stretching their legs in the first game against John Fawkner College on Tuesday.
