CANOEING, rock climbing and camel riding were just some of the sporting activities enjoyed by 436 Scouts and their leaders at Dungog Corroboree 2026.
Converging on the town were groups from across the Hunter and Upper Hunter, as well as from Newcastle and Sydney.
From climbing and balancing on stacks of crates to swapping boots for paddles to go canoeing in the Wilson River and mastering water activities at the Dungog Pool, the Scouts were kept busy around the clock.
They even enjoyed a stormy overnight bivouac at Dungog Mayor Digby Rayward’s property.
Participants also explored their creative side, trying their hand with Aboriginal dot painting and connecting with culture between high-energy exercises and competitions.
Held at the Showground and hosted by the Hunter and Coast Region Scouts, the theme of the Corroboree was Outback Australia.
It all wrapped up on Monday, having achieved its aim of building skills for life through adventure and culture.
