Participant Information
Overview
Group 3’s Bushwalk at Deep Creek is designed as an introduction to expeditions in an outdoor education context.
During this time we will be carrying our own food, water, cooking equipment, tent, medication, group equipment,
personal toiletries and sleeping equipment for 2 nights and 3 days. We will receive further instruction in
navigation, camp-craft, group management, emergency response and environmental education methodology.
We will be given an opportunity to lead in pairs under staff supervision for sections of the walk, allowing us
to practice group management strategies with our peers in preparation for group leadership roles as required on
Quest. To promote greater learning about the natural environment, we will be required to present a ‘micro-
tutorial’ as part of the assessment for the topic, whereby each student researches an allocated aspect of the
natural environment and throughout the walk attempts to engage the rest of the group in learning about this topic.
Each night there will be a debrief about what was learned about bushwalking, leadership, camp skills and the
environment. The experience is intended to prepare us for our mentor role with the 14-day quest experience or
components of your Quest alternative individual assessment.
The following is our planning document for our deep creek bushwalk during the september university
break. The expedition is for three days and two nights. Arrangements for collection of expedition equipment will be
finalized prior to the date of the camp. On the day of departure, we meet at Flinders University, outside sturt
gymnasium in car park 13. As a group we have completed this planning package with information specific to our
camp prior to departure.

Participant Role
Whilst on the expedition, we will be camping in tents, and moving campsites each night. We will take it in turns
leading the group under supervision of the field supervisor who will intervene as required to maximise student
learning and to ensure safety of the group. We will provide and cook our own meals. The group will always travel
only as fast as the slowest member and routes may be changed to accommodate individual group members should
this be required. We must contribute appropriately to the group, it’s functioning and achievement of common
goals. We will also be required to adhere to quality camping and leave no trace principles.

Leader / Supervisor’s Role


All Field Trip Supervisors have completed either a certificate IV or Bachelor degree (most with education degrees),
have a minimum of Bushwalking Leadership Certificate (or equivalent) and will carry a mobile phone and group
first aid kit. Where possible they will meet with your group prior to expedition. At 8.00 am on day of departure
leaders will meet their group, check plans and that all safety equipment is taken by students. The field trip
supervisor will outline expectations and clarify any organisational tasks that need to be done, including leadership
roles. The field trip supervisor will give feedback at the end of each day in a debriefing session to leaders and group
members and will provide marks for group members at the end of the expedition according to the assignment 1
guidelines and rubric.

Page 2 of 53
Emergency Contact
During the expedition, students are asked not to turn on their mobile phones. Should there be an emergency, all
details and emergency contact information will be recorded in the Field Trip Pro-forma that will be registered on
FlinSafe and left with a nominated contact person (Stan Flavel and Joss Rankin).

Key information:
- Students will form groups of 2, within these groups they will plan exactly what they want to have for each
meal following the meal plan outline above and using suggestions below if needed.

- It is important to remember that the students will need to follow the ethos of minimal impact camping
within their meal plan and preparation. This includes thinking about the importance of packaging size and
weight when deciding on meals and products as all containers will be carried for the 3 days unless disposal
opportunities arise.

- Regarding hydration, it is important to follow the rule of 500mL to 1L/hr each hour of activity depending on
temperature and intensity of walk. Given the weight of the packs and the length of the days walking it
would be advised to er on the side of caution and aim towards 1L/hr rather then under-hydrating.
Additionally, it is important to remember that electrolytes will need to be replaced during the day due to
the length of time spent on the feet participating in the walking.

- Remember that there will be approximately 14.5hrs of walking over the three days so it is important to
include plenty of Low GI foods as well as keeping High GI foods and snacks on hand for quick pick me ups
and to keep you moving.

Food suggestions:

Breakfast Cereal

Dehydrated or long-life milk

Tea, Coffee

Lunch Wraps and Salads

Pita bread or rice cakes

Cheese, metwurst, crackers

Dynamic Risk Assessment Framework

(Australian Adventure Activity Standards 2019)

Was dynamic risk assessment conducted during the last time this activity was conducted?

Yes – monitored a snake on the track in 2019 and 2020 at deep creek

Detail people involved, situation, action and communication

Joss’ group – stand still, slowly retreat, allow snake to re enter hole, continue with caution, evaluate situation
with group and identify emergency response if required

What needs to result in the next similar instance?

No change
