Club Location (see Map)
To
the south of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia; are some of the better examples
of accessible Rainforest areas. This includes the first declared National Park
in Queensland (Witches Falls NP - Mount Tamborine) the Main Range NP, Barney -
Ballow NP, and the renowned Lamington NP. All are within 1 - 2 hours drive from
Brisbane. Because of these areas’ close proximity and the variety of Bushwalking
tracks the club was formed and is based in the Logan and Beaudesert local
government zones.

Club Information
The Logan & Beaudesert Bushwalkers was originally formed in October 1991
as the Village Bushwalkers. They still meet in the Old School house, Wharf St.,
Logan Village 4207 on the second Tuesday of every month.
It was always intended to be a casual group of like-minded people who got
together for weekend walks and sometimes camping. Through our short history we
have had Saturday walks, weekday walks and ventured into abseiling, canoeing,
camping and through walking.
Occasionally the club organises
more distant trips away (to Tasmania, New Zealand and to the Snowy Mountains -
for example) with the object of taking on a variety of walk related
activities.
We try to
offer a variety of walks and encourage visitors to become members to enjoy
outings with us on a regular basis.
To obtain more club information including membership forms please contact
the secretary or the publicity officer. (see details above)
