As the weather has been so magnificent, we decided to reschedule our “Climb social” event this Thursday, 12th April at Dog Rocks, Mt Alexander from 1pm until 4pm. This event is for the people that already have done the climbing course with us or have tried one of our climbing days in our local area. Its a great way to stay connected with the great people you meet on our courses and keep the passion of climbing growing. We will also be adverising for our next rock-climbing course and this time, you will have the opportunity to spend a weekend at Mt Arapiles which is the mega rock-climbing place in the country. Hope to see you out there!

Michael Smith has a great extent of knowledge about navigation and ways to read the landscape. In this course, you will learn the basics of navigation and the way we relate to the environment using our “orienteering lens”. You will learn natural navigation with the sun, layers of the land and the natural elements surrounding you. You will also learn how the animals can help you understand how to navigate the land. Great day for families. We need a minimum of 10 people to run this activity. Hope to see you out there!

Mirawara is launching our first CLIMB SOCIAL event on Sunday the 25th March at Dog Rocks, Leanganook (Mt Alexander). We had such a great time teaching our last enthusiastic outdoor adventurers at our introduction to rock-climbing sessions a few months back that we decided to organise a few free climbing days where our past students can practice the skills they learned with us and catch up with the people they met whilst doing the course. We will organise another 2 other similar events before Winter comes. Hope to see you out there! Send us an email if you are interested or ring Emmanuelle on 0437 172 786.

We had a great day for our first session “introduction to rock-climbing” at Mt Alexander (Leanganook) last weekend. Tim Preston showed great expertise in his field, explaining all the gear required for a safe and fun top rope climbing session. We had participants from a range of ages with the whole family participating for the day and we did some great climbs! Well done everyone for a great day out on the mountain.

The trips with Jida have been so popular that we added another trip on Saturday the 20th January. We have 2 places available if anyone would like to come. A trip not to be missed and a unique cultural experience for our region. You can book tickets online at Eventbrite with the link below. Transport provided meeting in front of the Castlemaine Information Centre at 8am on the day.
