Camp trip advisor review Arli W8

Did you know? that the guy who made the steadfast sailed from Australia to new Zealand in 38 days

What is the steadfast and why?

Well on my camp for 2020 I would like to share one of the activities that we did in the 5 days we were there.

The stead fast is a sailing ship in the Marlborough sounds that almost looks like a proper pirate ship this ship was built by one man himself it took a very big portion of his life 16 years!! Laurence etheredge (owner) and Richard de hamel (business Partner) have been running the steadfast tour for 13 years and take classes from all around new Zealand to sail on his boat and do all sorts of activities we got to use the old school way to detect our speed, drop a rope with a chunk of lead tied to it in the water to see how deep it is, steer the ship, look at marine vertebrates with a microscope, and be on watch for other boats in front of the ship including other sea life with the binoculars.

I rate this activity 5/5.

Bio luminescence


Bio luminescence. Bio luminescence is multiple similar marine vertebrates that enlighten a blue colour when being made contact with or swished around in the water these marine vertebrates only appear in salt water.





5 senses:


What can you feel: I feel the ripples of the water flowing into my hand.


What can you see: I see blue glitter in the pitch black water almost like a reflection of fireflies.


What can you Hear: I hear the cold night winds flowing and rustling the trees as the fish emerge up to eat insects on the surface of the water with a splash


What can you taste: I taste what i smell





What can you Smell: I smell the fresh salt on my nose as i lie on the jetty I smell the fishy squid that we cut up for bait earlier.

Hanmer Springs Camp 2019

Hanmer Springs Camp 2019 
Hanmer Springs Camp was a really cool fun camp anyone reading this should definitely consider going to Hanmer . On the first day we did Orienteering in one of Hanmer Springs beautiful forests. It was pretty cool running around using directions to find clues and stuff which would add up to points. My team came 3rd I think. On the 2nd day we did tree climbing and mountain biking. We climbed 2 trees. One was a blue gum tree that was pretty short and the pine tree was massive. I made it up all the trees and on each tree there was 2 ways to go up and I did all of them. When you got up to the top of the pine it was a beautiful view of the whole camp. Then we went mountain biking which was my favourite activity. I loved biking through the beautiful forest and there were sharp corners lots of tree stumps to ride up and get air there also was ramp near a pump track. I cleared probably half of it. The pump track was pretty cool to ride to build up more skill and confidence for riding and be more experienced. Then on the last day we went up Conical Hill which at the top was a very stunning view of Hanmer Springs. Then we walked back down to the lolly shop at the bottom which was nice cause we got heaps of yum lollies. So if you're ever driving near Hanmer pay for a visit cause I really enjoyed it :) Definitely my favourite camp so far.
