Nature walks are a known wellbeing promoter.

In fact, if you can spend at least 120 minutes per week in nature, there are measurable health and mental health benefits.

With that in mind we invite you to join an Oasis Forest Walks 🌴🌲🌳

On the Bedford Park campus, we have access to scrub and pine forest land that makes for excellent walks and opportunities to connect with nature to enhance our wellbeing.

Join Chaplain Dave ⛪ to explore this beautiful wilderness on our doorstop.

Forest walk dates for Semester 1, 2025 are as follows:

  • 5th March
  • 2nd April
  • 7th May
  • 4th June

Walks run from 11am to 12pm

Please ensure you wear appropriate closed footwear, appropriate clothing and bring a water bottle.

Meet at Oasis to leave via the Garden entrance.
