  • Bush or frontier culture is experience in AUS, there is nothing similar to this in the UK
  • In AUS survival and safety skills are necessary whereas the UK lacks hostile wilderness
  • In AUS is seen as an important area of education and is an examined subject, the UK has varied commitment to it and is not directly examined
  • Victoria Development Programme incorporates community agencies like the Ambulance service, the UK develops skills however does not directly link with community agencies.

Overall comparison

Australia are much more dedicated to Outdoor Education as they have the resources necessary to complete outdoor activities and it is examined in schools. The UK find it difficult to have this much commitment as there is a lack of hostile wilderness, there is a lack of skilled teachers in schools to do outdoor education and it is not as necessary in the UK as it is in AUS
