Your Guide
Nikki Brown is the lead guide. Nikki spent a year in the bush living in a shelter that she made herself and learning many survival skills. She has learnt from many of the leading survival skills teachers like Tom Brown, Jon Young, Malcolm Ringwalt, Kate Rydge, Sam Robertson, Claire Dunn, Gina Chick, and more. Nikki’s passion is getting back to basics, using our own hands to create things we want and need, working together and having fun. She loves sharing these primitive skills with anyone who is keen to learn and for helping people to reach their full potential – mind, body and spirit.

NOTE: This program is designed to be playful, creative and fun and at the same time help kids learn important life skills and survival skills. Carers are welcome to become part of it and the request is that they join in for the games and embrace the spirit of having a go, being kind and playful. We aim to use language that gives choice eg rather than say ‘you have to do this’, we say ‘you can do this’ or ‘its more fun if you do this’. We also aim the keep the sessions screen free and if taking photos, to take them invisibly rather than getting kids to pose for a photo.
Wildcraft Australia is insured and licensed to operate at the Dungog Common. All guides have WWCC and first aid qualifications.
