Join the inquisitive Professor Plum on an adventure to follow the footsteps of the bunyip around Stanley River. Students take on the role of certified bunyip hunters and will look, listen, feel, touch and taste as they explore and learn.
This program brings to life the mythical character from the classic Jenny Wagner book 'The Bunyip of Berkley Creek' who goes on a journey of self discovery to better understand what he is. Just as the bunyip did in the book, students get the opportunity to learn about themselves and their peers as they participate in sense based activities around the centre, finishing with a tasty treat overlooking Lake Somerset.
