The very first step of your Duke of Ed Journey. An 'easing into' the hiking / camping experience. This isn't about walking long distances or carrying heavy loads, its about exploration, curiosity, experiential learning and having fun.
An adventure off the beaten track without the heavy bags. A camping experience under the stars with a few extra comforts: a tent you can stand up in, a comfy thick mattress and camp chair to unwind around the fire.
Enjoy this remote paradise, only 45 minutes north from Manly. Meet new friends, learn about the local flora and fauna and spend time enjoying camp - cooking up a BBQ, playing games and star gazing.
