Hazards

This is not suitable for people that use mobility aids or have additional mobility requirements. - The walk involves an uphill section. We will be walking at a slow pace, stopping often and whenever is needed. - The Deans Marsh Hall entrance is flat, however the carpark is covered in gravel. The public toilets do not include an ambulant toilet. Please contact us if you have any accessibility requirements and we will do our best to work things out. - The first location is a working farm with sheep present on the property. - In the near future we will be undertaking a revegetation project and there is an abundance of native wildlife in the area. Please be conscious and respectful of your surroundings. Come prepared with suitable clothes and if you have any rubbish please take it with you. -We want this to be a great experience for everyone and we will be encouraging people to work together, chat and share thoughts. Please advise us if there are any ways we can make this space more comfortable for you to share.
