Wirraway Homestead: A Holiday Campsite
Wirraway is a not-for-profit school camp based outside of Strathalbyn, South Australia. They host school camps all throughout the year, which provide opportunities for students to experience outdoor activities on 180 acres of countryside. They’ve designed accommodation for students to experience what it’s like to live in an “Australian settler” setting. Their school camps are fully programmed and catered, for the convenience of student groups.
