**About Googa**
The Googa Outdoor Education Centre is owned and operated by three Lutheran Schools: Grace Lutheran College, Rothwell and Caboolture; Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosa; Grace Lutheran Primary School, Clontarf.

Majority of our students participate in a four-week experience at Googa Outdoor Education Centre. Activities include multi-day hiking, survival, orienteering, solo, high ropes and service-learning projects.

The Centre, a former forestry camp, is set in the beautiful Blackbutt Ranges and located nine kilometers from the township of Blackbutt. Googa has a lease over six hectares of land adjacent to a further 120 hectares owned and managed by the Committee. The Centre has access to large areas of State Forests and private land for hiking and camping.

Facilities at the camp are deliberately simple. As far as possible, the physical environment has been left as it was in the days of the forestry camp. No electrical appliances, apart from refrigerators, are used in the dormitories. There are six dormitories consisting of three cabins, a kitchen and a cookhouse in each. Kitchens are fully equipped with the basics - crockery, cutlery, pots, pans and other utensils. Cooking takes place over an open fire in the cookhouse. Wood fired ovens are also operational in all cookhouses. The site has a central food preparation area equipped with a stainless-steel kitchen and appliances.

Staff accommodations are in shared houses separate to the rest of the camp - allowing staff to maintain a balance between work and lifestyle. We strive to create a community that is one we want to be a part of, both at Googa and in the greater community of Blackbutt.

Other facilities on the property include the five different high-element challenge course activities, multi-purpose hall, ovals, initiative activities, volleyball and basketball court. The campus and surrounding country have been mapped for rogaining and hiking activities.

The Centre has laying hens, ducks, cattle, sheep, a horse, a vegetable garden and an avocado plantation. Students are involved in working in these areas under the supervision of staff in addition to being rostered on the daily operation of our dairy.
