Where is the Kinchant Outdoor Education Centre?
Kinchant Outdoor Education Centre (KOEC) is located on 60 ha of bushland at Kinchant Dam, 40 km west of Mackay nestled in the picturesque Pioneer Valley.
A main attraction is its ability to offer safe aquatic programs year round. Clients include P-12 school students, tertiary students and teachers during the week and non-profit organisations (sporting clubs, scouts, youth groups, church groups) on weekends.
