VCAL - Torquay beach

On Friday the 20th of May our VCAL class went to Torquay beach. At Torquay beach we learnt about the nature of the area, as well as how the land was treated by people before us. We were shown some native lands and it was explained to us how the Wadurrung People once used it for thousands of years before we arrived. After this hands-on information session, we were given some tools and we cut down the bushes that were not being used for anything so that we could block entrances to the dunes. We did this so no one would climb the dunes and destroy the precious land. We ended the day with a quick survey that asked us questions about the day and what we got out of it. Everyone enjoyed the day and learned some new skills and took away some new knowledge.
