From time to time, normally in the months of March to October, I take small groups on a 2-day weekend educational bushwalk focused on teaching the skills of navigation.

Here are some photos from the August 2018 navigation weekend.

By lunch time on the first day we have reached the first of many panoramic views of the area. Apart from being a great spot for lunch, it is also a great place to learn some map and compass skills, and to use these to identify surrounding landmarks.

Sitting down to lunch before the map reading starts.

Late in the afternoon and after navigating on several compass bearings, we reach this swampy crater.
There is time remaining in the afternoon to linger on the rim of the crater practising map and compass skills.

Even though it rained during the night we were warm and dry camped under the shelter of this huge rock overhang.
