Re-scheduled

To all our prospective guest/participants,

Due to time constraint and only manage to attract 2 attendees the 'Caring for Country: Restoring Land and Cultural Understanding - ecological workshop at the Coorong' has been re-scheduled on the 6th - 9th of October 2009.

Also we no longer camping, you will be accommodated at Dormitories and for those who book in first you will stay at the newly built eco cabin (shared accommodation). There are only 4 eco-cabins so better hurry up (see image). The full-length windows of eco-cabins are designed to fully enjoyed the afternoon sunsets without stepping outside. Coorong Wilderness Lodge is situated where sunset is in full view and clear sky is perfect for star gazing.
