Despite the challenges we faced today, we managed to stay true to our word and arrived at Ballarat Town Hall just after 3:30pm. We were blown away by the number of people that had turned out to help us celebrate, including Mayor Judy Verlin, and crews from Win News and The Courier. The City of Ballarat had provided us with a green-themed afternoon tea, which we shared with family, friends, teachers and sponsors.

It was a great feeling to be home, but the journey is not over yet. We will spend this evening with our families and meet again first thing in the morning, ready to complete our final leg into Melbourne, where we will officially finish at 2:00pm outside Parliament House on Spring Street. We will be greeted there by Minister Gavin Jennings, and you are all invited to attend.  Afterwards, team members will proceed to the Royal Children’s Hospital, where we will be displaying Adimov to patients in the Starlight room.

For now, Greenhouse Guerilla is tucked up in his own bed after a good-night banana, looking forward to a strong finish tomorrow.
