We’ve left Fairbridge for the final time with a few tearful farewells to new found friends.

Arrived back at Fremantle YHA at lunchtime and 3 choices for afternoon activities – the train into Perth, free time in Freo or simply catch up on some sleep at YHA.

The last full day at Fairbridge and more Venturers on site all day as many of the off site activities finished yesterday.

Another warm day and most just took things fairly easy during the day – the Tasmanians all took tents down as off at 3.15 am tomorrow while UK depart at 11.30.

In the evening the closing ceremony including 2 bands and a DJ until 1am – also the State v State results and a win for our Commonwealth team, international entertainment including an ‘English Haka’ that the Aussies liked but drew mixed response from the Kiwis and the final flag down.
