23.01.2022 Well Done to the 12 nimble bushwalkers who scrambled their way to the top of Baga this morning. Marvelous views were had.

18.01.2022 Keppel Sands: a successful walk with 20 participants. Chilly start, but we made it around the southern headland below the Coastguard station before the tide came in. A very pleasant walk across the sands and up to the headland near Cawarral Creek, great views.

17.01.2022 BOOTS IN THE BERSERKERS: BIRKBECK AND BEYOND NURIM/MT ARCHER MEDLEY - 4 OCT Starting and finishing at the Saddle on Pilbeam Drive, the Nurim Medley will take in 4 shorter walks in Nurim/Mt Archer NP. The first is an easy walk up Mt Birkbeck to take in the views of Rocky and the coast before returning to the Saddle and wending our way up the Gym Boy Track. This will bring us out at Sliepner Lookout. From there we’ll head up to Fraser Park taking in the Ferntree Lookout path on the way before completing the circuit back down Pilbeam Drive to The Saddle, via a shortened version of the Elida Loop walk along the way. Contact Cheryl by Thursday evening. Members only.

17.01.2022 We took advantage of the low afternoon tide to complete the ever popular walk over to Girt Island off Keppel Sands. Members of the Go Far group from Yeppoon joined us for the outing. A strong north easterly breeze made for a very pleasant walk.

16.01.2022 CARNARVON GORGE GREAT WALK - SEPT 7-15 This is a six-day through walk of about 90km climbing from Carnarvon Creek up to the Great Dividing Range and the Consuelo Plateau. It covers some magnificent scenery with long-range viewing, and superb forests . Walkers need to have a high level of fitness and be well accustomed to carrying a full pack for 6 days.

15.01.2022 A good walk was had this morning, along the beach, lovely cool breezes and views on the hilltop and on the path to the ANZAC War Memorial and the Singing ship.

13.01.2022 KEPPEL SANDS - 23 AUGUST This is an easy/moderate half-day morning circuit walk, from the southern end of Keppel Sands near Beryl Hick Park. We head around the Coast Guard outcrop, then back across the beach, taking advantage of a lower tide, to the northern headland on Cawarral Creek. Up to the Lookout, then down onto the beachfront road back to the cars. Bring morning tea/snack. Option for lunch/snack at the Ko-op or The Pub. Contact Rita by Thursday evening. Members only.

13.01.2022 BAGA (formerly MT JIM CROW) - 27 SEPT This is a ~40 min sharp, steep scramble through the pine trees to the top. At the summit, wonderful views of the surrounding trachyte plugs - of which Baga is one - can be seen, along with views towards Yeppoon and Keppel Bay. Overlooks the new wave-making facility! Height: 150m. 1.6km return. Moderate, reasonable fitness required. Members only. Contact Anna by Thursday evening.

09.01.2022 BLOXSOM ST PEAK LOOP - 30 AUG This moderate half-day walk starts in Enid O'Toole Park on Rockonia Rd. It ascends 3 hills before reaching the peak, behind Bloxsom St. We return via Ken Baker Park. It is a good work-out following mainly fire trails, before the climb up the mountain. Contact Pauline by Thursday evening. Members only.

06.01.2022 MT MORGAN DAM - 1 NOV We will be walking around Mt Morgan Dam which also includes the 2 creeks that flow into it. New walking tracks are being built around the dam and this will be a good opportunity to see what improvements have been made. A half-day walk of approx 8 km with nice views of the water and dam is planned. Come along and enjoy! Contact Glyn by Thursday evening.

06.01.2022 GENERAL MEETING - NOV 8 There will be no scheduled bushwalk next Sunday.

05.01.2022 CYRIL CONNELL FIELDS - 22 NOV Commencing from Queen's Park near the Alexandra railway bridge, we'll take a wander along the cycle paths and quieter roads beside the Fitzroy River heading towards the Cyril Connell fields and beyond. From there we can get a close look at the river and Rocky's very own South Bank. It should be a pleasant walk for the warmer climes. Visitors welcome. Contact Cheryl by Thursday evening.

01.01.2022 EMU PARK - 6 SEPTEMBER Starting at Fisherman's Beach, we go on to Tanby Point, past The Haven, up to the reservoir (great 360 deg. views), then down the street next to the airstrip.
