Film
A still image from Encounter

Lake Tyers was the site of a ten day multi-cultural camp for boys. Under the watchful eyes of voluntary skilled instructors the boys swam, sailed, canoed, scuba-dived, went hiking, fishing and played the residents at cricket. They made friends and learned teamwork and co-operation. Narrated by David Johnson.
