Duke of Edinburgh 2021
DUKE OF EDINBURGH - ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY
On the 17th and 18th June our Duke of Edinburgh participants completed their first adventurous journey along the Wooli River and Yuraygir Coastal Walk.
On Day one our intrepid students paddled approximately 10km in Canadian canoes, exploring mangrove systems and sand dunes along the beautiful Wooli River. Along the way they encountered sting rays and pelicans.
Later that day, they set their tents up and got to cooking some delicious camp meals including butter chicken and nasi goreng before settling down around a cosy campfire with delicious smores. Talk about gourmet glamping! There were even some old school computer games and time to watch the Rabbitohs beat the Broncos.
The temperature that night fell to 4 degrees, however, our participants were well prepared with warm sleeping bags, beanies and warm jumpers and at 6:30 the next morning they were all ready to get on with a 15km hike along the beautiful coastline between Wooli and Minnie Waters.
The hike ended at the Minnie Waters General Store with hot chips and a feeling of great accomplishment.
Congratulations to all of our participants for completing their Adventurous Journey. Thank you to all the staff involved in making this journey possible, especially Sally Poidevin, Tanya Slaviero and Michelle Merrikin.
