On July 29-30 the Outdoor Leadership class went to Cradle Mountain National Park with teacher Andrew Jarman and pre-service teacher Sarah Morrison. The weather was wild, with strong winds. However, we were lucky enough to stay in 'The Scout Hut', a 45-minute walk from Ronny Creek carpark. The first day we braved the winds to walk up the steep track to Marion's Lookout. The second day saw the group walk in strong winds and rain to Kitchen Hut, Dove Lake and to the new Dove Lake Visitor Centre. The group then took the most direct track back up to The Scout Hut, as we were all a bit soggy.  This trip allowed the students to practice their leadership skills, navigation skills, and decision-making skills that had been discussed in class time. A most memorable trip was had by all.
