Wednesday
The cloudless day began with an enthusiastic splash in the clear waters of Noosa main beach for an ocean swim. Led by the local swim coach Graeme Brewer, the entire team dared greatly in a lane rope free aquatic pursuit – even Amanda coming along for the swim. However Cam avoided the sun at all costs and prepared his “Cam-ouflage” outfit for the afternoon.
After lunch we were in for a treat for Cam’s army boot camp involving running, lifting, crawling and rolling through the sand and water. Even though we were exhausted, we found the energy to enjoy a hyped up evening of music bingo with many upcoming dancing and singing talents being revealed.
