Namadgi: Nature Play – Swagman Billy Tea & Damper

Where children can enjoy our play spaces rich in nature-based, open-ended experiences that give children, families and communities an opportunity to connect with nature and each other. Helping them replace “screen time” with “green time” and reconnect with nature.

During this activity children will be joined by swagman for a traditional Australian bush experience.

Kids will get to make and cook their own damper over an open fire, while listening to stories of the bush, and drinking freshly made billy tea.

This activity includes a short 400m walk, with gentle hilly sections, and is suitable for small children (Recommended for age 6 to 11).
