Sunday morning saw a beautiful sunrise over the fog filled valley and a stunning bird’s eye view of the Kenilworth Bluff before we wandered down the ridge line to meet the lunch time bus back to the College. A quick refreshing dip in Gheerulla creek was a wonderful end to the two days of exploration and walking. Thank you to the wonderful Duke of Edinburgh and Bridge students for the way they took each challenge in their stride. It was a pleasure to take this diverse group of young people who showed care, kindness, tenacity and humour throughout the weekend as they explored new places and developed their leadership skills. Thank you also to staff, Ms Angela Hill, Ms Genessa Lee and Mr Simon Williams for contributing to a positive and memorable experience with our students.
The next Duke of Edinburgh Adventurous Journey will be a three-day bushwalk along the Cooloola Wilderness Trail from Saturday 24th – Monday 26th April. This trip is open to Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh students and will see them follow the footsteps of Eliza Fraser across the Great Sandy National Park and culminate with a river cruise through the Noosa Everglades.
