Moreton Experience's around camp activities

Lake Honeyeater walk ~ 3hours

An inspiring walk through flowering heathland

This is a circuit walk which takes a little over 2 hours – including stops for field book activities. The walk includes 20 minutes beach walk and 40 minutes walk through low heathlands. On this walk we see several parasitic plants. Before the walk students see a video showing many of these parasitic plants. The walk finishes by wading through Blue Lagoon followed by a swim . Since the drought has ended and water tables have risen, once again students get to experience the excitement of walking through reeds, and holding their bags up to keep them dry. The walk and swim takes about 3 hours.
