Brownies' Trip to Western Australia Day 4

We woke up earlier today as we had to reach the Guide House by 9am. We had the honour of meeting Liz Butson, the State Commissioner of Girl Guides Western Australia. We were also very touched that they specially opened the Guide Shop for us on that day (the Guide Shop is only open on Thursdays and Fridays and the first Saturday of the month).

Outside the Guide House

The Girl Guides in Western Australia knit teddies all year round to comfort children travelling to hospitals in ambulances. The teddies are donated to St John Ambulance and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

After lunch, we went to Garden City Shopping Centre at Booragoon. It was huge! The major department stores and supermarkets can be found there - Kmart, David Jones, Myer, Coles, Woolsworth...

There were also bookshops, craft stores, bakeries... We had a light dinner at the foodcourt after our shopping.

Beading a Kangaroo

New Found Friends

After making the beaded kangaroo, we went out of the hall for sing-along. One of the songs that we sang was the National Anthem of Australia - Advance Australia Fair.

After the sing-along, we toasted marshmallows over a fire and enjoyed the Australia Girl Guides Cookies.
