Pretty Beach House guests can join an educational bushcraft experience with Jake Cassar, learning about the natural Sydney Surrounds. Jake is a passionate Bushcraft teacher, youth mentor and conservationist specialising in edible and medicinal native and introduced plants in Australia. He has worked with respected Aboriginal Elders in NSW and Central and Western Australia.

Jake’s tours are upbeat, interactive, engaging and include a comprehensive display of native and exotic plants and an in-depth description of some of the plants uses. Jake will share information on how to make rope from tree bark, fire from sticks, soap from wattle leaves and may even play an instrument along the way.
