Pioneers
A week in the Gibraltar Range/Washpool National Parks
Spanning the eastern edge of the Great Dividing Range in northern New South Wales, six parks between Glen Innes and Grafton offer a range of experience. Striking granite outcrops and steep escarpments, wild rivers, woodlands, spectacular flowering heathlands and World Heritage rainforests provide a varied backdrop for a choice of activities.
In 1986, the importance of rainforests within
Washpool and Gibraltar Range National
Parks was recognised by World Heritage listing,
as part of a chain of fifty remnant ‘rainforest
islands’ stretching from south east Queensland
to Barrington Tops in New South Wales.
These Gondwana Rainforests of Australia form the most extensive areas of diverse types of rainforest to be found anywhere on the globe.
They protect thousands of special plants and animals living in these rainforests and give a glimpse of what the planet was like millions of years ago.
This is real Australian wilderness and you're on your own, just you and a few mates. Independent, under control, having a great time.
Pioneers support will depart from TAS at 1030 Monday, 28 November to set up radio bases for the Pioneers group.
Year 10 Pioneers will need to be at the Pioneers shed by 9.00am on Monday 28 November for a pack inspection and final instructions, expecting to depart at 10.00-10.30am.
We will return on Friday at approximately 2.00-3.00pm for a debrief then dismissal.
Essentials that you will need to bring include: sleeping bag, change of clothes, swimming gear, towel, torch, sunscreen, hat. Please note that you do not need hunting or penknives, or any aerosol cans of any sort. If these items are found after pack inspection they will be kept for you to pick up on your return.
You will have been given $40 each and recipes to help with purchasing food for the week.
Emergency communication during this week is possible via the Pioneers base. Parents should ring Reception at the school switch (02 6776 5800) if this is necessary. Reception will also have details of our amended arrival time on Friday should we be delayed.
