The Conservation Experience – Australia, by Madeline Townsend, Australia

Founded in 1982, Conservation Volunteers Australia is a national, non-profit
and non-political organisation. CVA completes essential conservation projects,
which could not be tackled without active community participation. The
projects are as distant, diverse and unique as the Australian continent
itself – for example, radio-tracking echidnas on Kangaroo Island;
malleefowl surveys in Victoria’s Little Desert; construction of
the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory; landcare projects in Tasmania
and koala surveys in Queensland.

Conservation Volunteers Australia welcomes everybody with a love of the
outdoors and interest in the environment to take part as a volunteer.
Our volunteers come from all over the world, including Korea, Denmark,
Japan, Britain, Canada, USA and Germany. If you are looking for an opportunity
to:

· visit some amazing locations,

· meet a broad range of people,

· learn about the Australian environment, and

· volunteer overseas

then volunteering with Conservation Volunteers Australia and having a
Conservation Experience is for you. The Conservation Experience is a six-week
program especially designed for overseas visitors to Australia. It is
the perfect way to visit some of Australia’s special places. The
cost of AUD $966.00 (just AUD $23 per day – around £8.20)
includes all meals, accommodation and project-related transport. You can
join the Conservation Experience on any Friday (subject to vacancies),
from any of CVA’s office around Australia. For further details,
