National Outdoor Leadership School
Broome, Australia

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' The rich cultural history, subtropical habitats, and ancient land formations of the Kimberley make this part of Western Australia ideal for an educational expedition. You’ll backpack through tight canyons, past secluded waterfalls, and over dry plateaus, exploring areas very few people have ever seen.

Diverse bird, plant, mammal, and reptile life make this an ideal place to study, interpret, and enjoy some of nature’s wonders. You’ll see crocodiles, kangaroos, wallabies, geckos, and birds, including cockatoos, kookaburras, and honeyeaters.

In this land of extremes, where days can be hot and nights cool, you’ll be challenged by uneven terrain and rocky hills. You’ll explore and navigate through woodlands of gum trees, cane grass, and billabongs (water holes) one moment and hike to the top of an escarpment the next.

The Aboriginal people have lived in this area for up to 60,000 years, and you’ll learn about the Kimberley culture by spending a couple of days with our Aboriginal guides, discovering their traditional and contemporary lifestyles.

Through informative classes and discussions, interaction with our guides, and travel through local cattle stations, you’ll leave this course with a new understanding of the rich and diverse natural and cultural history of the Kimberley and Australia.
