This 3-day, 2-night adventure through Oze National Park features beautiful hiking trails and stunning views. But more than that, it allows you to connect with the park’s rich history of conservation via authentic interactions with the current generation of stewards.
During your travels you’ll meet mountain hut keepers and the hardy “bokka” that supply them.
You’ll converse with locals as they teach you to make local specialties passed down for generations.
You’ll get your hands dirty helping replant some of the area’s most iconic wildflowers.
Through these interactions and experiences, conversations and stories, we hope that you’ll forge your own connection to this land thats beauty and culture make it so worth protecting.
