Hike
in the Great Otway National Park & along the Surf Coast Walk
|
From 2 hours to a full day, join local guides to
learn about our native animals and plants, Aboriginal bushfoods
and the natural & human pressures that affect the landscape.
The Great Otway National Park has plenty of great walking tracks
that lead through heathlands, eucalypt forests, temperate rainforest,
beaches, rivers and cliff tops.
Perhaps we can lead your group on a walk from camp to the beach,
learning about traditional bushfoods and medicine plants along the
way. We can also talk about Anglesea’s dramatic Alcoa coal
mine from a lookout, look for signs and traces of native animals,
discuss human impacts and land management, and talk about our Indigenous
people’s involvement with the land.
Bushwalks will be tailored to you group’s abilities, timeframe,
accommodation, and content requirements and may be used to link
your other camp activities. Save money and resources by walking,
instead of taking the bus! |
| Duration: |
2 hours to a full day |
 |
| Sites: |
The Great Otway National Park, including Point Addis, Anglesea,
Aireys Inlet and Lorne regions |
| Suitability: |

Environmental Projects

We hope that you can help us care for the coast when
you visit the Great Ocean Road for a field trip or camp. We have recently
acquired a trailer and tools, and designed a program that involves
tree planting, brush matting, weeding and site maintenance, while
enjoying Surf Coast sites and meeting curriculum goals.
New Activity - Dune
EduAction aims to restore degraded coastal ecosystems between
Anglesea and Apollo Bay. Being involved in the program, school and
community groups gain an awareness of coastal processes and a sense
of ownership of the coastal resources |

1.5 - 2 hours |
 |
| Sites: |
A variety of sites on the Surf Coast between Torquay and Lorne.
We aim to match groups with a site where they are doing other Eco-Logic

years |

Sessions can be modified for middle primary school to tertiary/
adult groups. |
| What is supplied: |
All tools and equipment for environmental works, plants and safety
vests for all participants |
