Hiking the Wild South Coast Way on the Fleurieu Peninsula
At the beginning of Term 2, our Year 10 Outdoor Education students traded the classroom for a four day camp on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The core of their experience was a two-night lightweight hiking journey along the Wild South Coast Way, spanning from Tunkalilla Beach to The Bluff in Victor Harbor.
Day one saw them tackling the notoriously steep Sheoak Hill. Despite the weight of their heavy rucksacks, spirits remained impressively high. The hike threw a few extra hurdles their way, including drizzly weather and high tides on the beach walking sections, which turned keeping shoes dry into a group effort!
By day three, the students were successful in independently navigating and working together to reach The Bluff, with plenty of selfies along the way.
To round out the experience, the group had the opportunity of abseiling at The Bluff and a day on the water with the Port Noarlunga Aquatics Centre. These activities were a welcomed reward after the challenge of carrying everything they needed on their backs for three days!
Congratulations to the Year 10 group for demonstrating great maturity, teamwork, and resilience throughout the week. You should be incredibly proud of your efforts!
