Group Camping Adventures in Victoria

Victoria is in the south east of Australia and while it is considered the cultural and sporting mecca of Australia, many people do not realise that this also includes distinct Aboriginal cultures as well. Victoria punches well above its weight, despite being the second-smallest, second-most populous and most densely-populated state in Australia, the range of naturally beautiful places are truly countless. Victoria offers a diverse range of camping locations that are ideal year round. From coastal to alpine to riverlands the options for camping adventures in Victoria are seemingly endless!

Learn and have fun in a safe and inclusive Camping Community

If you’re looking to learn more about Aboriginal culture and have a camping adventure at the same time then look no further. Yilam combines stunning locations with the local Aboriginal history and knowledge systems to provide a unique cultural experience. For thousands of years First Nations People have cared for and managed these lands, carefully cultivating intricate and sophisticated knowledge systems based on the fundamental belief that we are connected to all things.

Our overnight camping activities in Victoria, Australia, are specifically designed to empower the camping community of Australia, from beginner to experienced, to feel welcome, confident and safe out bush. Depending on the group camping experience level you'll participate in specially selected activities designed to create a fun and inclusive space to enhance your camping skills and to teach you how to cultivate your own connection to Country.

Participants will gain an increased awareness of Aboriginal People and culture and come away feeling welcome and safe on Country, connected to the land and empowered to take their friends and family camping.
