EcoQuest Australia

About the trip

We have picked the most exciting components of our certificate level III course and compressed them in an experience without the exams or higher learning. The idea still remains to increase awareness of nature and promote responsible tourism, conducting two activities daily, with one lecture held during the heat of the day.

At the end of this course students should have a broad understanding of the Australian bush, with a new found respect for the natural ecosystems that are so in need of our help.

Location

The course is run from our Northern Australia camp located on Swim Creek, 75,000 acre working buffalo station, amongst the coastal floodplains of the Mary River. This property contains an incredible diversity of habitats including floodplains, savannah woodland, mangrove, paperbark and monsoon rainforest, which attract an extraordinary array native birds, mammals, reptiles and insects.
