ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY DETAILS: Bronze Prac & Qual: 3 days / 2 nights
The Bronze Duke of Edinburgh journey teaches a beginner level knowledge of camp craft, navigation and bush safety. The goal by the end is that the practice students should feel comfortable and be able to complete their qualifying journey independently of supervising leaders. The YouthAdvance Bronze AJ takes participants into the Marramarra National Park where they will explore “Jurassic Park”. Dubbed this due to the old growth sub-tropic flora, the adventure will also explore several Indigenous sites. The group will hike, rogaine style on, and off track through the area, with an overnight campout at a private property situated within the National Park. With some challenging navigation and sections that will require teamwork, the participants will be rewarded with stunning views and enjoyable experiences over the three days. |
MEALS: Participants will need to bring ALL meals and snacks for the duration of the three day, two night AJ. Day 1 | Lunch and Dinner
