EAST Loddon P12 College VCE outdoor and environmental studies class travelled to Budj Bim National Park and camped at the Parks Victoria campground for three days.
Although rain was forecast for the whole trip, the campers were fortunate to only experienced rain while setting up and packing up. 
Instead, sunshine on the first day of July made stand up paddle boarding and surfing at Port Fairy a pleasant experience. Students also explored the caves and walking tracks around the crater of the ancient volcano. 
On their final day students participated in an Indigenous cultural tour at Lake Condah. Students learnt about the seasons indigenous people used to source food and live sustainably, as well as eel traps, smoking trees and the medicinal benefits of various plants.
