Paintball and bushwalk

Paintball experience

Looking at GoPro
Getting ready for paintball
Paintball is a great activity for a one day event. It can be easily organised for a weekend or short Easter break.
We booked for five people at the game zone 'London After the Apocalypse' at Appin, which is only about an hour and 10 minutes drive from Macquarie University. The game zone has three fields with different modes. The first one we did was 'saving the prime minister'. We had to escort our prime minister while our enemy tries to shoot him. The second game mode we played was just a regular 'death match' that you have probably played in CS or Overwatch. Since we were all poor university students, we couldn't not afford the cost for extra ammo, so we only had 100 paintballs each. It didn't last us until the third field. However, it was a great experience for us.

Fish fillets

Since Appin is pretty close to Wollongong, we went to the beach to get some fish fillets for lunch at around 2 pm.

Bush walking

Lookout Walking Track 
The track's entrance is at Panorama House, which provided us with free parking. We didn't manage to finish the track because it was getting dark, so we went about half way then we headed back to Macquarie and called it a day.

Why go on this trip

This trip cost us only 25AU for the paintball and lunch money plus the petrol. It's only adds up to about 40AU each. Yes, it's that cheap. This is great for poor university students like me :)

Busaco trail Having a rough day? Mountain biking is an effective and positive outlet to turn to when you are stressed out. It will bring adventure into your life, so forget about your responsibilities and get close to the nature on a mountain bike. One of the great thing about mountain biking is that you get to race through the beauty of the earth. Nature can make a person happier, less stressed and more energetic. Mountain bike is very suitable for poor uni students like me because most trails out there are free. Busaco trail by Darren Chang Location of the trail If you are interested in mountain biking, I strongly recommend you to try out Busaco trail. It's very beginner friendly and has great scenery. There are multiple entries to get to the trail, but I go through Browns Waterhole Track. The green area where the trail is located is mostly covered with other trails. You can also explore other trail in the area. Author: Darren Chang
