School children across South Australia are travelling to the bush to connect with the land and Indigenous culture as part of the ‘Kids on Country’ program run by the Nature Foundation South Australia.

The program takes students to nature reserves for a week in which they take part in hands-on learning activities and are educated about the natural environment by Indigenous elders.

The program has undergone its third camp with 16 students taken to Hiltaba, just north of the Gawler Ranges where they worked to return the former station to its natural state.
