Lake Daniell

Lake Daniell

Last Wednesday the 12th of June. Rooms 1 and 8 went on a tramp
at Lake Daniell. Ms Kemp and Mrs Robins came with us along with
8 other parents. It took us 5 hours to walk the track. While we were walking
the track we had to work in groups  for a treasure hunt.

We went to Lake Daniell because rm 1 and 8 are doing the William Pike
Challenge award. Since we are learning about hypothermia we decided to go
in winter. We had to keep lots of warm layers on to stop us getting cold.

We had lunch at the hut. Once we were finished our lunch some of us went onto
the jetty. We didn’t stay long once we were finished our lunch because it had
started to lightly rain. We didn’t stop on the way back but on the way

Lake Daniell is near Lewis Pass. Lewis Pass is part of the Southern Alps.
The track starts at a campsite just past Springs Junction.
It follows a river up the land for part of the way and then the river breaks of.
The track leads to Lake Daniell.

This trip could not have happened if we had not had all the lovely parents
volunteer to help us. They had to transport us there and back. We are very
thankful to them and the teachers because without them we wouldn’t have
been able to go. We also made this trip happen by having the right gear.
If we hadn't have the right gear we wouldn’t be able to go because we
would probably get hypothermia.
