24/09/2017: A big thank you to Greg and Andrea for throwing open their lovely home and for making us most welcome. The food choices were delightful.

Please RSVP directly to the email address below as the next event requires a guide and we need to know the size of the group.

Next Meeting

October’s meet-up will be an outdoor event, a leisurely guided walk through Mary Cairncross park, so please wear your walking shoes and bring a hat.

There will be a light lunch available after the walk, the food we are told is delicious.

When: Sunday 29th of October 2017 at 1045h for 1100h departure.
Meet-up for the walk: Courtyard of the Discovery Centre

Where: Mary Cairncross Rainforest Reserve, Range View Road, Maleny

Details: This is a nature walk so dress appropriately. So ladies for those of you who like to look the part you can pull out those Lorna Jane’s – for me I wear the cheaper version Body – although it will probably be better for me to wear something less sporty and more practical. Anyway the point here is to dress for the walk. Comfortable shoes are a must. This is a leisurely walk, so it is recommended you bring a hat.

In case of wet weather: Bring an umbrella!!! Because we are still walking… And closed shoes so you can walk the puddles (resist the temptation to splash!).

I need to confirm numbers the day before because we will have a guide, so please let me know you are coming. I look forward to your yes reply.
