18 to 24? We welcome you!

If you're 18 to 24 and keen to get outside for a bit & meet some new people, we're heading out for a relaxed arvo/eve around the fire.

We'll be doing some fire-building skills, cooking up a feed, and hanging out under a natural cave/rock overhang in Linden, just two minutes' walk in.

It's a small group (max. 6 people), so there's plenty of time to have a go, chat, or just enjoy being outdoors. Rohan and Kate will be there to guide things.
