VIVID Camp @ Cockatoo Island
Dear Scouts,
This year for Vivid we are going all out! In order to get enough time to do VIVID properly we are going to camp at Cockatoo Island and visit the city by Ferry on Saturday night.
We will travel by Ferry to Cockatoo Island to setup camp and then head into the city to enjoy the lights of VIVID returning in the evening when we have seen all the things.
