Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I've never done this before – what do I do?
~ Bring some shoes and casual clothes, a water bottle, sunglasses/sunprotection if it's sunny, or a rainjacket if a Melbourne weather tantrum is on the horizon. Maybe some chocolate or snacks, or a musical instrument- we can pass them up to you!
