What do you get when you take the Brighton Youth Action Group (BYAG) on a summer camp to Tasmania’s East Coast? A whole lot of adventure, learning, laughter and a few very memorable wildlife encounters!The BYAG crew camped out in the bush, tried their hand at fly fishing and even caught an eel! They explored the magic of Maria Island, wandered along the stunning Painted Cliffs, fossicked in rock pools and discovered a very fancy decorator crab.

Along the way they spotted wombats, Tasmanian devils, and soaked up everything the coast had to offer, including fish and chips at Triabunna. And just when they thought it couldn’t get any better, they swapped walking shoes for aprons and headed into an Italian cooking class. Gnocchi was rolled, pizza dough was kneaded, and gelato was enthusiastically taste-tested (purely for quality control, of course!).

From bush camping to wildlife, coastal exploring to cooking up a storm – this summer camp was one for the memory books. Huge thanks to everyone who made it such an incredible experience for our young people.
