• Students meet at the Historic Kinchega Woolshed car park for a short introduction to Kinchega National Park.
• Students then walk with a Discovery Ranger through the woolshed following the path the sheep took.
• Students learn about each part of the woolshed and how it fits into the whole.
• Students fill out workbooks as they go to note the name and use of each section of the woolshed.
• The session can then be finished with a game (Aboriginal Sites, Barkindji Bush Foods, Tacks and Traces or Threatened Species) depending on the teachers needs and time availability.
