The Bush Bus - A mobile, nature inspired playgroup completes project

The Bush Bus - A mobile, nature inspired playgroup completed its project in December 2019.

The project developed a free outdoor playgroup that travels by bus throughout the Mitchell Shire. The bus visits five locations each week and welcomes children aged 0-6 years old to play in a bush or park setting. Children enjoy a greater connection with nature and the opportunity to socialise with children from diverse backgrounds. Intergenerational relationships between grandparents attending with children have been fostered too. The program has provided experience and exposure to employment pathways for youth in childcare, outdoor recreation, environmental health, education, sustainability and conservation, early childhood education and event management.
