Brief Summary:

Burn off the Easter Egg energy with the Adventurous Activities Team. We have created a morning program for beginners to achieve Level 1 OAS for Bushwalking in a fun and interactive way. This is an introduction to bushwalking for Joeys and Cubs with minimal or no experience. Come experience an easy walk in the Royal National Park and get signed off for Bushwalking Level 1. We will start in Florence Parade and walk a loop via Bungoona look out, the Royal National Park Tram Stop and back. Participants will learn the basics of navigation, bushwalking etiquette and learn about walking in a group. Nb If you are dropping youth off, you could take the opportunity to walk the Honeymoon Stairs down to Audley weir and back.
