It was an adventurous day out at Seven Creeks, near Kialla, when a bunch of youngsters experienced the challenges and rewards of orienteering with Start Outdoors on Sunday, January 9.

The event was part of Activities in the Park, an ongoing series of free or low-cost school holiday activities presented by City of Greater Shepparton and Get Mooving.
