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.

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).

km/hr for heavy scrub, scrambling. Add 1 hour for every + 500m, add 1 hour for every - 1000m.

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
Tea, Coffee
Spreads, dips
Fresh fruit
Preserved meats or proteins with a long shelf life such as tofu or chickpeas and
beans.
Snacks Dried fruit, trail mix or scroggin, lollies, chocolate even up and go
