Living History & Historical Re-enactment Groups.
What we are & what we do.

Participating in living history is a way of experiencing a past lifestyle. Living history is about re-enacting a past lifestyle. You can choose your period, and a character you wish to emulate in that period. You wear the period clothes, and use the period equipment to accomplish period tasks. This can be anything from Historical Trekking & camping (which includes a wide variety of period & primitive skills),to other living history activities such as flint & steel fire lighting, open fire cooking, finger weaving, loom weaving, tomahawk throwing, & many other period living skills.

Historical Trekking is trekking in period style. You wear period clothing, and you carry and use period equipment. Historical Trekking can cover any period, but mostly to date, it is 18th century only in Australia.

Historical Re-enactment is mostly of a military nature and includes battle re-enactments and the lifestyle that revolves around those battles.

All of the above activities tend to be family oriented, and can include a wide variety of interests, crafts and skills.
If you were looking for an activity that the whole family can get involved in, together, then one of the above would be a good choice.
