Walks and Workshops
When you arrive at the festival, there are opportunities to sign up to a variety of walks and/or workshops at the well-signed Information Tent. For the first time at the festival, there will be a series of workshops on sustainable building techniques, solar passive house design and making your own alternative energy.
A group of enthusiastic and well qualified botanists, ecologists, field naturalists, and educators volunteer their time to lead walks and share their knowledge about the unique environmental values of Jackeys Marsh and the Great Western Tiers. See the Walks Programme for more details.
A variety of other workshops including yoga, tai chi, singing, circus skills, and belly dancing will take place throughout the festival. See the Workshop Programme for more details.
Rainforest Walks 
Throughout the three-day festival, there will be opportunities to walk through a variety of forest and rainforest environments. The rainforests are remnants of the ancient forests of the supercontinents of Gondwana. The Great Western Tiers contain a mosaic of vegetation communities from myrtle dominated rainforest to eucalypts and alpine rainforest.
See the Conservation and Heritage page for more information.
There are many short walks in the valley of Jackeys Marsh easily accessible from the festival site. It is advisable to bring sensible shoes, a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle if you are intending to include a walk on your festival itinerary. A children’s walk leaves from the festival site regularly.
Wild Cave Tours 
Environmental scientist and speleologist Deb Hunter will share her expertise during the weekend to lead a number of small groups into some of the local Karst caves. These Limestone Caves along the Great Western Tiers are some of the most diverse and interesting in Australia.
These tours are very popular so book early at the festival information tent. More information about the caves.
