The adventure is curated to foster connection among veterans, families, and friends, offering a healthy and memorable way to spend time together in the Australian bushland. It's an opportunity to reconnect with nature and each other through shared activity and good food. **What to Bring** Comfortable walking shoes. Sun hat. Reusable water bottle. Insect repellent. A willingness to learn and participate. **Best Age Range** This adventure is most suitable for adults and teenagers aged 13 and above, due to the physical demands of bushwalking and the focus on cooking skills. Younger children may find the walking distances and the sustained focus required for cooking challenging. **Good to Know** Bookings are essential, as group sizes are managed for a quality experience. Check the specific meeting point upon booking, as locations can vary. Weather appropriate clothing is recommended. This is an outdoor activity, so activities may be adjusted in adverse weather conditions. **Nearby** The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney offers beautiful walking paths and diverse plant collections, located a short drive away. For a different perspective, consider a ferry trip from Circular Quay to Manly for coastal walks and beach access.
