From February 2026, PGL Australia will officially become The Great Aussie Bush Camp, marking the beginning of a brand new chapter for our camps.

Same camps. Same experiences. Same teams you know and trust, just with a new name as we move into the future together.

As part of this change, our socials will be moving across to The Great Aussie Bush Camp. That’s where you’ll find all the camp stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and what’s next for Campaspe Downs, Camp Rumbug and Kindilan.

Follow The Great Aussie Bush Camp and come along for the adventure 🏕️

Our much-loved camps at Campaspe Downs (VIC), Camp Rumbug (VIC), and Kindilan (QLD) will continue running the same amazing experiences they always have and remain committed to delivering quality outdoor education, just with a new name.

As part of the transition, we’ll be moving across to The Great Aussie Bush Camp socials, where the journey continues with more stories from camp, behind-the-scenes moments, and the next chapter of adventure. We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to share it with you.

🎉 Happy World Children’s Day! 🎉

This year World Children’s Day is all about celebrating every child’s right to play. 👍

At PGL, we’re all about helping chidren play, learn and grow through the power of outdoor education. 💪

We acknowledge that play is how children learn, grow, connect and heal, and that every child has the right to play - no matter who they are or where they live.

You can help celebrate the day with ‘A Minute of Loudness’, where children are encouraged to share ideas on how to make Australia an even better place for all children, especially when it comes to play.😀

🌟 Important News 🌟

We have today completed the sale of the Australian side of our business to another leading Australian camp provider, The Great Aussie Bush Camp . And like us, they are committed to providing young people with transformational experiences through the power of outdoor adventure.

The Great Aussie Bush Camp stands proudly as a leader in outdoor education across Australia, deeply rooted in their local economies and communities for over 20 years. As one of the largest outdoor education providers in the country, they welcome around 65,000 children and teachers annually across four locations in NSW.

This has not been an easy decision for the owners of PGL Australia, PGL Beyond, to make, but as the UK’s leading outdoor education provider the decision has been made to concentrate resources on a significant number of growth opportunities closer to home.

We are managing the transition with transparency and care and hope that all our colleagues will continue to thrive with The Great Aussie Bush Camp.

Calling all local pig farmers! 🐷

PGL Campaspe Downs is looking to partner with local pig farmers who can utilise food waste from our kitchen. We would provide:

• Pre-separated food waste (approx. 20kg per week) from childrens’ meals
• Pick up available on Wednesdays and Fridays from PGL Campaspe Downs (Tylden)

You would need to provide clean, sealable buckets.

We’d love to see food waste redistributed to help local farming families! 🌏♻

Comment below or send us a DM if you're interested! 👍

Do you know what we get up to on school holidays? 🤷‍♀️

Well, there’s a lot of training, cleaning and general maintenance of our centres, but we’ve also been mapping parts of our centres for rehabilitation 🌏 🌱

At PGL Campaspe Downs, we’re rehabilitating a section alongside our Challenge Course. We were so excited 🎉 to find 20 different species of native plants (including some insect eating plants! 🦗)

We also found some leaf litter 👍 and some w**ds 👎.

Now we start the process of w**d removal, followed by propagation and direct seeding to enhance the biodiversity of the site 🌿

A huge thanks to Steve for championing this project as part of our Better Beyond Adventure strategy. 🙏

Heard of the Hairy Anchor Plant??! 🤷‍♀️

This little beauty is critically endangered, but also super important! It’s ability to thrive in low-nutrient conditions makes it the perfect plant for rehabilitating degraded land🌱

Tylden Landcare volunteers have been planting the Hairy Anchor Plant along the Little Coliban River at PGL Campaspe Downs. 💦

This is an amazing addition to our range of plants that call Campaspe Downs home. It also coincides with Threatened Species Day (7th September), which focuses on all Threatened Species, but commemorates the passing of the last known Tasmanian Tiger in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.

Hairy Anchor Plant is threatened by grazing from stock and rabbits, along with competition from introduced pasture grasses and other w**d like gorse and blackberry. At PGL Campaspe Downs we are working on extending this plant's range and managing the threats to it.

We’re excited to be taking steps to constantly improve the local water quality and environment through initiatives such as these 🌏

As part of our Better Beyond Adventure commitment🌎, each of our PGL centres supports a local charity. PGL Campaspe Downs is proud to support Kyneton Foodbank . 💕

We recently put on our aprons and picked up the tongs at a Bunnings BBQ. 🌭The sun shone down on us☀️ and we raised a whopping $2,400!

With an additional top up from PGL, that means over $4,400 for those who need it most in Kyneton 👍

Thanks to all those who came down and supported us on the day 😀

Come on down to Bunnings Sunbury on Sunday (24th August), between 9am - 4pm. PGL staff will be manning the sausage sizzle to raise money for our chosen charity, Foodbank 👍

If you’re in Sunbury, or just popping into Bunnings for a weekend project, be sure to stop by, say hello, and enjoy a delicious snag. Every bite helps continue supporting those in need in our community. 🙌

Thanks in advance for your support 🩷
