Central Australia Camp

Hello from Central Australia! 

On Monday 4 April a group comprising year 10, 11, and 12 students headed off to Central Australia Camp. Straight after landing at Yulara airport the groups were whisked off to see some of the areas around Uluru. The following days have been filled with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and many walks around the two most significant features, Uluru and Kata Tjuta. 

The students have had the privilege of learning about the area from Anangu guides and participating in cultural activities. On the next leg, the group will visit a remote cattle station, camp at Alice Springs, and visit Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks before finishing up with a day in Darwin. We are very proud of the respectful behaviour of our students and happy they have had this chance after two years of cancellations due to Covid. 

What do I think about camp so far? 

I think it is amazing at the moment even though it is so hot it is an amazing place. It is amazing to see Uluṟu, touch it and feel the spiritual connection to this sacred place. There are so many breathtaking views, it is an amazing place that everyone needs to visit.
