Holland Track Trip

The only tools we had to get out of this situation were prayers, and we needed a lot of them.

From 23-26 September 2022, the Kulikup Seventh-day Adventist Church youth, and WA Youth and Children Specialists, hosted a 4WD Information Exchange Weekend while travelling The Holland Track. 25 vehicles and 63 people registered for the event. We learnt about:

• Picking the right line

• Vehicle recovery

• Food planning

• Bush survival

• Trip planning

• How to cook a damper

• First aid

• Vehicle inspection

Each morning started with worship around the campfire with a bonus fun-crazy-challenge on the last morning. God never let us down with an incredible wildflower display, Mallee Fowl nest, bearded dragons and a rare thorny devil.

The track was an unforgettable challenge from the previous weeks rain. By the end of day two we had seven vehicles to repair from so much fun in the mud. The journey was an incredible adventure with new friendships made. To see how we were saved by prayer and some amazing bush mechanics keep an eye out for the video at the Youth Shed this Easter Camp.
