Southern Flinders Ranges Camp

SACE Stage 1 - Outdoor Education

In week 7, term 3 our SACE Stage 1 Outdoor Education classes explored the Southern Flinders Ranges for an outdoor experience. This involved menu planning to cook on trangias, setting up tents, packing rucksacks and navigating and leading the group for different sections of our bushwalk. 

In the sunshine we climbed Mount Remarkable on the first day which was a great achievement for all. The forecast changed and a cold front threatened with hail and thunderstorms predicted for Thursday so, for safety reasons, we made the decision to pack up the next morning. Whilst disappointed to return home early, this was a good experience in adaptability and understanding how to react to environmental conditions. Our group was very resilient and kept dry and comfortable through the night as the rain and wind came through in early morning.

Congratulations to the group on their efforts to support each other, being organised and participating in a positive outdoor experience.
