The drive to Melbourne was very long and exhausting! I thought that the long drive would never end. When we arrived to Melbourne we put our bags at the motel where we were staying (Miami Hotel) and caught the tram to the City Central. Immediately after arriving we were given rules, safety and expectations for the camp. Our first activity was a Scavenger Hunt. We were to go and find different points in Melbourne and take a photo to prove that we had been there. It took us a while to get used to reading the maps and knowing what trams on but we eventually figured it out. Well we sort of did. We ended up coming back to Melbourne Central on a tram. Around 4:00 we went to the Sacred Hearty Mission where we learnt about homeless people and all the things that are offered to the homeless. It is surprising to find out how many people eat here. We were told that about 600 people eat here. It is a free meal and you get heaps of services offered to you. At night we went to an Italian restaurant where we ate pizza, drank softrink and ate ice cream. The pizza was good, but it would have been nice to have pasta. But the ice cream was really good.
 * Monday:**

I was very tired when I woke up this morning. 7:30 was a very early start! We left early so that we would try and miss all the traffic. Luckily we did, but I am really sick of standing on the trams all the time. It really sucks! When we arrived to the City Centre, we had to start doing our research projects. We had to write out our surveys and some questions for the interviews that we will be conductiong. It should be good fun. We were given some hints of some ideas for people to fill out surveys and I think that the tram might be a good idea. It will be harder for people to say no to us! After recess we went to the Urban Seed and learnt more about homeless people. I felt that the homelessss thing that we did yesterday was definitely better. I found this one a little bit boringer. At lunch I did a lot of walking around and then eventually sat down to have McDonalds. I don't intend on eating much of this. I hate McDonalds! After lunch we had this Reach problem where we learnt about sticking up for ourselves adn not letting anybody put you down. At night we went to the Crown Casino where we had two hours of unlimited play on the machines. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it heaps.
 * Tuesday:**

When I woke up this morning I woke up feeling very tired although I had over eight hours sleep! The first activity that we did was at SYN FM, where we learnt about making our own radio station. We all got to take part in this and it was a lot of fun. I worked with Glenn and Joel to complete a segment, which was awesome. After recess we started our research, and this was very scary. I learnt that you can't trust anybody. The language and the respect from others isn't very good. After a couple of hours of ending up in places we didn't know we had collected many surveys. It was a lot of fun to meet a lot of people. I was fortunate enough to meet some people from Bendigo who were very suppotive towards us and was continuously wishing us luck to do our best on our camp. At night we went to the Crown Casino and we played King Pin Bowling and a laser gun game. I was lucky enough to win the bowling which was awesome as. When I went to bed, I fell asleep straight away. I was absolutely exhausted. My legs were sore and they were extremely tired from walking.

 * Thursday:
 * At the beggining of the day we started off doing the Fitness First Program. This involved doing all different types of weight lifting. The lifting really took a toll on my arms and my legs. It was very hard work and I would never do it again. It hurt heaps! After a long and exhausting hour at Fitness First we did a bit more resear
