23.01.2022 ^^^VENUE^^^^ Esk Scout Group allows us to use their facilities for a minimal cost. There is showers, toilets and a basic kitchen. There is ample space to set up camp in the grounds, however there is no powered sites. ... There is also camping and cabins at Esk Caravan Park, in the centre of town. The Den is approximately 10-15min drive from the forest trails. We will be able to do some of the tasks at the Den however we will head into the forest for at speed passing and free runs.

22.01.2022 You never know when you're going to come across someone on track in need of help! The 'Help a musher' scenario activity at our Esk bootcamp saw mushers thinking fast about finding somewhere to safely tether their dogs before assisting the musher in distress.

18.01.2022 Every training session ends on a positive, the dogs love their free run home

15.01.2022 ***Planned Topics*** We will commence Friday evening and go through to Sunday morning. We will cover all topics including; * Equipment * Maintenance * Tugline workshop... * Line out training * Commands * Race organisation * Timing * Passing training (lots of) * ‘Help a fellow musher* scenarios A full timed schedule will be available prior to the event. All going to plan we will be able to get through some basics on Friday evening and head into the forest on Saturday morning. Then return to the Den for some workshops while the puppies rest. There is a pub in town that has supported us in the past, so we will plan to head there for dinner and socialising on Saturday evening. Sunday morning we can head back into the forest for some more passing training and free runs.

09.01.2022 Having a much needed feed after a day of boot camp

08.01.2022 Would like to say a special thank you to Ryan, Michelle and Robert who came along to our workshop on the weekend and helped teach new and existing mushers some helpful and fun tips. Thank you to all the committee that attended and helped the weekend run smoothly. Thank you to everyone who attended and participated, we had a great turn out despite the predictions of bad weather. It is this type of event and support that makes us QLD’s Premier Sled Dog Club. See you all and more next time!

07.01.2022 What you need to bring: * Dog/s * Safety gear (helmet, closed in shoes, goggles/glasses, gloves) * Scooter or Rig (it is hard to do the slow paced passing on a push bike, but we can make it work if needed)... * Tug lines or lead collar and / or check chain * Water and food for you and your dog/s * Handler * Camping equipment See more

03.01.2022 If anyone is keen for a little run in the morning head to our tracks at Elimbah.
