Go Outback for your next school excursion
06 July 2009
National whip cracker champion Daniel Wicks shows students from Brisbane's New Farm State School the ropes at the launch of Queensland's Outback Education Handbook.
Queensland students and teachers are encouraged to go Outback, following the launch of a new school excursions program.
Years 6 and 7 classes are enticed to travel as far west as Charleville, Longreach, Winton and Mount Isa to explore the Outback first-hand and enrich their learning.
From dinosaur discoveries and our state's pioneering spirit, to working cattle stations and hidden lakes and dams, these excursions are a great way to get to know Queensland's colourful Outback.
The program includes a handbook for teachers with information and ideas on travelling to Queensland's Outback.
