SHAPING GREAT AUSTRALIANS.
Where learning is found within the experience, and character is formed through challenge.
At Emu Gully, we believe adventure shapes character and deepens learning.
Through exploration and challenge, we create experiences that inspire growth and development.
Our programs go beyond traditional education, empowering the development of character through reflection and the courage to change.
Our activities are purpose-built for developing teamwork and leadership and are typically based around epic events and stories.
Each program focuses on the character values of Courage, Mateship, Sacrifice and Perseverance and is professionally facilitated to enhance outcomes both in the moment and with application to real life.

The EXPLORE (ERNIE’S JOURNEY)
The World is for Exploring
Ernie the Emu knows it: the world is full of wonder! He and his mates are ready to venture out to see, hear, smell, and feel everything around them—but maybe skip the tasting!
Ernie’s Journey is all about saying “YES” to curiosity, discovery, and adventure.
The Explore is available at Helidon now and Tamborine (from July 2025)
UBUNTU
Ubuntu – “I am because we are’“ – is designed to immerse participants in the essence of collaboration and interdependence. Across two or three days, participants work together to build their own “village,” fostering a sense of belonging, contribution, and shared achievement.
