Thirty-one Girl Guides, eight leaders and six guests enjoyed a Girl Guides camp at Boondooma Homestead over the weekend.<\/p>\n

New friends were made and old friendships rekindled as Guides from Durong, Murgon and Gympie joined together for a regional camp.<\/p>\n

The camp was themed \u201cAustraliana\u201d with two sun camps called \u201cThe Bushrangers\u201d and \u201cThe Swaggies\u201d.<\/p>\n

The girls explored Australian heritage by participating in activities that included Aboriginal art and beading, learning the \u201cYula Buri Ba Yara\u201d welcome dance and about indigenous culture.<\/p>\n

Aboriginal elder Uncle Alan Gill taught the girls to respect their parents and elders and told a story of his own experience as a youngster.<\/p>\n

They also tried their hand at bush balladeering and exploring Boondooma Creek.<\/p>\n

A tour of the historic Boondooma Homestead also gave the Guides some insight into station life and some of the hardship settlers faced from the early 1800s onwards.<\/p>\n

For some, camping in tents and cooking in a Q.M. tent was a new experience while others enjoyed a bush shower for the first time.<\/p>\n

Tired campers headed home on Sunday afternoon with souvenirs of paintings, beads and lasting memories.<\/p>\n

Organiser Leeann Stern said she was pleased to have been able to share the local heritage with Murgon and Gympie.<\/p>\n

The guests, Dot, Justin and Emily Welfare along with Alan and Cheryl Gill gave insight into the local indigenous culture and their input was well appreciated.<\/p>\n

Mrs Stern also thanked Buddy Thomson, Lynne Bennett and the staff at Boondooma Homestead for allowing the Girl Guides to enjoy their hospitality.<\/p>\n
