Enhancing Safety and Learning at Malmsbury Camp
We’re excited to share the installation of a new on-site weather station at Malmsbury Camp, made possible through the generous support of funds raised at our 2025 Christmas in July fundraiser. This important upgrade allows camp staff to access real-time, location-specific weather data, enabling more informed decisions about when to modify or cease activities. Previously, weather information was sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology site 40km away in Redesdale, which often did not reflect the unique conditions experienced at the camp.
The new weather station adds an extra layer of safety and supports a more consistent application of our severe weather thresholds. In addition, it opens up valuable learning opportunities—live weather data can now be shared with students, helping them engage with and better understand weather patterns in a hands-on way.
If you wish to follow the live weather at our Malmsbury Camp, or look ahead for your next visit, you can create your own account at weatherlink.com or view basic information on the Weatherlink Map – https://www.weatherlink.com/map
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible.
