YouthAdvance Paddles into SA!

YouthAdvance have launched their first Adventurous Journey expedition into South Australia and we are so excited about it.

YouthAdvance is now both the Open Award Centre and an AJ Provider in SA to help deliver the award and provide AJ solutions.

Our first adventure planned is a paddling expedition taking place across 5 days. This allows our Bronze participants to complete both Practice and Qualifying Journeys and allows our Silver and Gold participants to complete one of their Journeys.

Paddling in both the Coorong National Park and the Murray River National Park, the scenery and wildlife, not to mention the waterways and wetlands and camping out under the stars will be both an adventure and beautiful.

The first planned paddle expedition is scheduled for departure Adelaide 19th Jan 2020.

The early bird limited special tickets are on sale from Monday 7th October 2019. 

Bronze – Hike DHURAG

THE PROGRAM VENUE – DHURAG

Dharug National Park covers rugged bush land just north of the Hawkesbury River, with dramatic sandstone cliffs and a variety of natural habitats. The park is bursting with bird and animal life, you’re likely to see gang-gang cockatoos, satin bowerbirds and green catbirds on the mountain slopes and, for students camping overnight, be sure to take a torch to look for yellow-bellied and greater gliders and sugar gliders. If you can’t see the yellow-bellied glider, you may well hear their loud shrieking and gurgling calls.
