Duration: 1 hour
Years: Prep - 12
Location: Columboola EEC
Students enjoy a walk along a local track, or through the bush, looking for wildlife. After rain we can even enjoy a frog search. What happens on the walk varies each time.
This activity can be combined with Astronomy activities. It's a great chance to look at the night sky without the influence of light pollution.
