Central Australia Camp

As part of the educational program for 2019, Year 9 and 10 students at Dromana College ventured off on a 9 day camp to Central Australia. This unique opportunity was designed to provide students with the chance to experience parts of Australia that they may not be able to visit, as well as develop a further understanding and empathy for our indigenous cultures of Australia. Students travelled by 5 star coach to the Northern Territory and returned by flights through Qantas. Dormitories and tents were used for their accommodation which was an exciting and fun experience.

The camp package included highlights such as:

- Coober Pedy: opal mining and underground living in a mining township.

- Uluru: natural wonder of the world, an educational and culturally enriching experience.

- Kings Canyon: experiencing the natural wonder of our top end.

- Alice Springs: camel ride en route from Kings Canyon, visiting the Desert and Royal Flying Doctor Service

- MacDonnell Ranges - Ormiston Gorge, Standley Chasm and Simpson Gap.
