Self-Guided Journeys – Broken Bay facility hire
Our newest offering for Adventurous Journey has been exclusively designed by the Duke of Ed NSW Team in collaboration with the experienced staff at Broken Bay. Our self-guided AJ experiences offer access to one of NSW’s most breathtaking and unique locations—complete with all the elements of a traditional AJ.
Broken Bay Sport and Recreation Centre is perfectly situated just an hour from both Sydney Metro and the Hunter Region.
