Bunya to the Bay is an award winning educational experience grounded in aboriginal culture and heritage that follows the Brisbane River from the source to the sea. A group of 40 selected state school students relay in teams to walk, cycle and canoe over 340 km of challenging river terrain. Scientific, personal, social, and adventure learning experiences will build their understanding of the many facets of the Brisbane River. They will spend time with elders on country connecting with deep and dynamic cultural heritage traditions and values.
This is an amazing and important opportunity, for State School students of all backgrounds and abilities in Years 10 11 & 12. It is an opportunity to connect with South East Queensland’s unique environment, culture and communities. It is an opportunity for young people to gain a deep sense of their place in the world and their capacity to shape its future. It is an opportunity of a lifetime.
