Walking the Yorke – An Outdoor Adventure to Remember
Walking the Yorke – An Outdoor Adventure to Remember
The Stage 1 Outdoor Education classes ventured to Dhilba Guuranda – Innes National Park for their Semester 1 Bushwalking Camp.
The groups were blessed with ideal conditions, comfortable for walking and favourable for spotting wildlife along the way. Stenhouse Bay was the site of our first campsite and we were treated to a stunning sunset before preparing the site and cooking nourishing meals. A crisp morning greeted the groups as the staff and students readied themselves to head off toward Pondalowie Bay via the historic township of Inneston. Both the Year 10 and Year 11 classes were in good spirits as they navigated ~15km of the Walk The Yorke trail, encompassing the Thomson-Pfitzner Plaster Trail Hike, stopping for a well-earned lunch break at the salt lake shared with some inquisitive Emus.
Once set up at our second campsite, students again prepared meals and enjoyed marshmallows around the campfire before resting weary bodies with an early night.
The final morning allowed for a visit to Cape Spencer Lighthouse, with clear visibility across the Southern Spencer Gulf to Kangaroo Island and breathtaking views of the rugged coastline on offer.
