Olivia Harvey
Award Level:
Gold
Favourite memory of the Award:
My favourite memory would be sitting around the campfire at night. We would all be exhausted from our day of hiking, but we would work together to collect firewood and then sit down to play games such as mafia, and telling stories.
Age:
17
Biggest challenge from doing the Award:
Getting ready for the hikes, such as packing the bags and getting up early to leave, would be challenging. Leaving to hike for 7 days seems intimidating, yet once I was there, I would thoroughly enjoy myself.
Country:
Australia

Tell us the story behind your photo:
This was our last night of our camp. We camped on the beach above the Colo River, and had to trek of find the firewood. There were stinging nettles throughout the wood areas, and many of us were stung. We all had to share the lotion we had. We stayed up at this campfire for a long time, playing mafia, word games and discussions.
