SPEAKER: It's good to see so many people keen to participate in our Young Explorer program. I think that at this meeting we have groups from 12 different high schools. I can promise you that while it's challenging, it's also going to be a lot of fun. The Young Explorer program offers some unique opportunities to participants. During the program, you'll be tracking through forests or maybe mountain tracks or perhaps kayaking along the coastline. It can be a tough few days, but this part of the program really gives your group an occasion to work as a team. Some kind words and encouragement can go a long way, whether it's convincing someone they can walk the last 5 miles or helping them fit everything back inside their backpack. No one's in charge. 1It's all about cooperation, and please don't see it as a race. There are going to be moments when there is disagreement about which way to go or where to camp for the night, but here's the chance to 2listen properly to the opinions of others and reach a decision that's best for everyone. It's an opportunity not many other programs provide.

SPEAKER: Later this morning you need to choose a weekend when you can attend some preliminary training. A number of practical subjects will be covered to ensure you get the most out of your four day trek. Now, everything you eat and drink you'll have to take with you. You'll also have to use a 3portable stove and the fuel it requires. 3We'll make sure you know how to use that safely during the training session. We don't want you or the food to get burnt or for you to accidentally satellite to any trees. 4Training will also include learning how to read a map and use a compass so you can 4head in the right direction. You'll also need to know how to put up a tent and where to put it. For example, putting it next to a river or a stream might seem like a good idea, but there are plenty of reasons not to.

SPEAKER: Okay, there are six tracks on your list, and your group can decide which track it wants to take. Each of them are about the same distance, but very different in other respects. The first one, North Face. That's one of my favorite tracks. It takes you high up into the mountains and the view is stunning. But we've just heard that the maintenance work is taking place, unfortunately, and so 5people aren't allowed to use it at the moment. But the other tracks are very interesting, too. You've got Blue River, which I'd thoroughly recommend, but you need to keep an eye out when you're walking that track, 6it's easier to slip on the rocks when you're crossing the river, and you do have to cross it several times. Then this Pioneer track, which takes you through some native forest. You follow the track for about a day and a half, and then 7it comes to an end at a town called Richmond. It starts up again on the other side of town, and the rest of the route is along the coast.

SPEAKER: You might also consider Edgewater. You get to see some beautiful Lakes and bird life. The only thing I'd say, though, is that 8it's very popular, and you'll probably come across a number of 8other groups out walking on the way. Number five on the list is the Murrayi track. That one is certainly quite challenging. There are some very steep sections, and at some point 9you'd be walking right next to the cliff edge on a very narrow path. That's definitely a track where 9caution needs to be taken. Great views, though. And last, but not least, is Lakeside Track, which, as the name suggests, takes you along one of our biggest lakes. It has some terrific camping spots, but that also means 10it's a bit of tourist attraction, and you could well be 10sharing the track with many other visitors. Anyway, it's up to you which track you decide to take.
