Highland Dance Company of NZ - Port Arlington Festival - Day 1 - 6th Jun 2024

Highland Dance Company of NZ - Port Arlington Festival - Day 1 We started our trip yesterday morning with a very early start! The Christchurch crew woke up at 3am to all meet at the airport by 4am. Excitingly we all got into the Koru lounge where we all had a big breakfast before our flight! 
 
We arrived in Melbourne at 8am with the whole day ahead of us for some free time. We met up with the Auckland crew, a group went to see Wicked the Musical and the rest of us went shopping at various malls in the city centre as well as figuring out how to get a tram to the DFO. 
 
We all met up again in the evening to walk to the port to catch our ferry. After an hour and a half on the ferry we arrived in Portarlington, where we were picked up by two Pete’s and taken to our accomodation. Half of us are in an air bnb with Robyn and Julie and the older half of us are staying in a cabin/house at a campground.
 
After a very long day, we got some pizzas and cooked them up for our dinner, then headed to bed for a good nights sleep.
