Extra details about the camp:
- Each day will have short walk options.
- The program is subject to change due to weather or other factors out of the co-ordinators’ control.
- While not everyone can commit to the full 10-day walk, we’d love for everyone to join for at least one full camp (5 nights in Porongurup or 4 nights in Lowlands). That way, we can better connect and pitch in with the setup and pack down at least once.
