noise and to what end? Across the Menzies lawn, through the campus centre I go,
students, sipping on champagne and taking a break from the normal university slog.
Excitement is in the air. I hear the chants loud and clear now. I go up to one of the
merrymakers and ask, “What’s going on?” I’m offered a glass of champagne and The Rime of the Ancient Drinker
And now there came both mist and snow, And it grew wondrous cold:
And ice, mast-high, came floating by,
As green as emerald.
Behold! From the broken dinger of Green Week comes Winter Sabbatical: The Conception. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the famous poet and opium addict, no doubt penned the above words to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner during a Winter Sabbatical, and it shows the creativity for which the youth of today should
strive. And even though some university administrator has changed the name of our illustrious week, we’ll show them this year that not much changes, like we
have since the very beginnings of this establishment. MasterMindless, the Pool
Comp and the blue ribbon Centurion are the stuff of Monash mythology. May the legend continue, have fun and stay safe – after all, if I’ve survived 10 of these weeks, you can survive at least a couple.

A Piece of Farm Week History
(1967-1984)
History of Green Week (1988-2011)
A few years after the federal police shut down Farm Week, a new week
spawned called Green Week and made it to a solid 24 years. One of the early
favourite events of the week was IB, which ran throughout the week testing
the might and willpower of competitors. The actual events did not change
much from Farm Week, although the events became tamer over the years, due to alcohol policies. This certainly didn’t make Green Week any less fun, as it is an unusual week where you can get involved and do things that you
could never do any place other than Monash. Green Week will forever be in the hearts of the competitors. RIP.

Winter Sabbatical
Scavenger Hunt
The Scavenger hunt is one of Monash’s longest tradition’s that dates back
through Green Week and Farm Week. Back in Farm Week it resulted in
anything from the acquisition of a behind post to an attempt to “relocate” the foundation stone from Sydney Opera House. In fact it was this very event
that brought Farm Week days to an end when, in 1984, a plaque was removed
from the Royal Mint and was unfortunately not unnoticed by federal police.
While these days the scavenger hunt is a little tamer, it has still remained a major part of Green Week and will continue on to remain a major part of Winter Sabbatical.
It is comprised of two parts; the long scav hunt and the short scav hunt. On the Thursday prior to Winter Sabbatical, the long scav hunt is released and is typically completed over the weekend, usually requiring the teams to travel interstate.
The short scav hunt is released on the Wednesday of Winter Sabbatical and
is generally completed in a single night, with teams only travelling around
Melbourne.
Throughout both of these scavenger hunts, teams are required to acquire
certain items and complete certain tasks, keeping evidence of everything they do for the presentation on the Friday morning of Winter Sabbatical.
Keeping some vestige of Farm Week, the ‘hardest to obtain object’ is still in there, and is still a hotly contested title.
So even if you aren’t the best sculler or the fastest runner, the scavenger hunt is something that everybody can get involved in. It’s the perfect
opportunity to gather a bunch of your best mates, get in your car, pack a few of your favourite beverages (sorry designated driver!), and take a trip you will never forget.
