Company Team Building 1.5 days =P
Started thursday morning by wearing our randomly allocated coloured t-shirts and finding our teams. Most teams were of about 5-7 people per group and we had like 15 teams or something going.
every one had a coloured shirt and strip of material or bandana to wear. (gooo team yellow~!)
Locations are encrypted and the challenge task is given in the enclosed papers for each envelope give out after each challenge is complete. The challenge completed, is recorded by the organisers by digital camera and team scored accordingly for the task completed, we were then given an envelope with the next location and challenge to decrypt.

9. Katoomba (echo point) - we arrive at the station which we then had to board these wooden trolley buses to echo point, each team had their trains scored by officials, photos taken at the checkpoint. We had to yell something at echo point to hear the echo, then conga in a line for 5 meters lol this was hilarious
10. Leura - we then had to catch a trolley bus back to the resort where we were staying overnight.
It was crazy running around everywhere in the city and the long train rides with tasks to keep us busy. so pretty much we had to make our own way to the accomodation lol. tightasses i tell u =P
it was fun, but also tiring running around and keeping the group together.
we were hassling train passengers for help at some points to help us figure out what some pictures were.
quite a few people i heard thought we were from Americas 'the amazing race' lol some lied and said we were and people believed it!!
but yea lol we cause soo much havoc wherever we went lol. i think it would be funny seeing us run around in our coloured shirts all going to the same location in the city XD
Once we got to the accomodation, scores were taken and teams were awarded for highest scoring.
they had time to kill since they were still counting up the scores so we had aboriginal performers come in n muck around with us..
they showed us the digeridoo, made some ppl dance like kangaroos, emus, goannas which was funny XD pretty much every1 did it at the end =P
lots of funny videos i reckon tho ;) lol
as for team scoring:
Team that came last got a plastic compas ring each XD
top 5 teams got a box of chocolates each.
team that won got a trophy and bottles of champagne =)
