It's a little wet here in Batchelor and many people went home early due to the flooding, while they could still get home. I hope everyone is safe and dry.

Here is a very "quick" walk around at the Outdoor Education Centre today.

This week we were in full swing with all hands on deck. Our first BIG camp group of the year Good Shepherd Lutheran College NT. It was a very wet week and we were constantly trying to dodge the weather. But we made it work and we all had a great time. Thanks to all the staff and year 7 students for making this week a good one for everyone!

Today Jan, Aaron and Tiahny spent some time refreshing their climbing and belaying skills, and making sure the wall is good to go for our upcoming visitors!

Look at this fascinating creature. She even has her tiny "friend" beside her. This lovely specimen spans about 22cm. At this stage she is safe there, but we will relocate her before our first camp arrives.
