Highlander Australia is committed to protecting the environment and follows the "Leave No Trace" principles. These guidelines promote responsible outdoor practices that help minimise our impact on nature and ensure the places we explore remain pristine for future generations.

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
   This involves researching the area, understanding regulations, and preparing for potential challenges like weather conditions and wildlife encounters. 
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
   Stick to established trails, campsites, and durable surfaces like rock or gravel to avoid damaging vegetation and soil. 
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
   Pack out all trash, food scraps, and human waste. Use designated toilets where provided or bury waste properly if necessary. 
4. Leave What You Find
   Don't collect natural items like rocks, plants, or artifacts. Leave them undisturbed for others to enjoy. 
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
   Use a lightweight stove for cooking and minimize the use of campfires. If building a campfire, use established fire rings or pits and ensure it is completely extinguished before leaving. 
6. Respect Wildlife
   Observe wildlife from a distance, avoid feeding them, and store food securely to prevent attracting them. 
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
   Respect the experience of other visitors by keeping noise levels down and being mindful of shared spaces. 

SAFETY

For your safety, all participants must have a first aid kit during our events. All first aid kits must include a snake bandage, and you need to know how to use it.

DOGS

Dogs are not allowed in Australian national parks and so cannot be on course.
