What's On in Nambucca Heads

This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of tracking as a disciplined practice of observation, interpretation, and follow-up. The emphasis is on developing the skills needed to find, interpret, and follow tracks and sign in a structured, methodical way across varied terrain. The training will concentrate on transferable principles and systematics that apply across environments. Participants will learn how to read disturbance, build a coherent track picture, and maintain trail discipline, while also developing the judgement needed to work with uncertainty, partial evidence, and changing conditions. The aim of the course is for participants to locate, interpret, and follow track and sign with confidence. By the end of the week, participants should be able to move beyond isolated observations, maintain contact with a trail, recover it when it is lost, and make reasoned decisions based on the evidence on the ground. This applies whether you are new to tracking or looking to strengthen and practise existing skills.
