(Update: deferred due to weather warnings, new date to be advised) After several discussions and some solid interest shown, it’s time to strap on the head torches and head to the Environmental Park on Tuesday 12th February at 7:00pm for a night trail run. We will be meeting at the Phelps Road entrance (off Caboolture River Rd) to minimise the disturbance to local residents. It should be a fun event.

Make sure the forecast is good and that Dore Pass is clear of snow before you start!”
