On the day
Come prepared for all weather and wear sturdy footwear for hill work.
Eastside Bush and Dry Bush are steep sites and not suitable for very young children, or a lot of children at one time. If children do attend, they can still get Children's University credits.
Barnett Park is a flat site ideal for families and for obtaining Children's University credits.
