‘Suitable for eight to 14-year-olds, Life Through a Lens will lead participants into the Yanchep environment to capture Mother Nature’s charm by digital camera,’ she said. ‘To join in the activity, children must bring their own digital camera.’
There will also be an adventure caving session on October 3, with Yonderup and Yanchep caves open for little explorers.
‘As they explore the cave by torchlight, they will discover large chambers filled with stunning natural decorations such as stalactites, stalagmites and columns,’ Ms Francis said.
