The next Australian Venture will be in New South Wales in January 2021 - the website for the last AV will give you a good idea of the format www.av2018.scouts.com.au Get Set was held in Queensland and 7 Explorers and 3 Leaders from Black Prince arrived in Sydney on 27 December where we met up with the Tasmanian Contingent for the start of a week long road trip through New South Wales and Queensland to Brisbane. Our Post-Tour was spent in Cairns before flying home via Singapore.

AV06 was held at Cataract Park, just south of Sydney and 2 Explorers plus 2 leaders spent a week in Sydney, enjoying home hospitality in Oatley before the camp and a couple of days in the Blue Mountains afterwards.
