Join us for a special event, a forest bathing walk to a 1000-year-old tree on private property at The Pocket, culminating in spectacular views towards Byron Bay. We last did this walk with Timothee, who hosted us in recent years and the new owner of the property has invited us back. How lucky are we! The walk begins at the house and ascends a hillside through regenerated and ancient forest. By lunchtime, we will reach the top of the hill where breathtaking views await. More details to come. Grade: 3 Distance: approx. 4 km Leaders: David Roland and Cass Emanuel Enquiries: david@davidroland.com.au

We will meet in Mullum with the 3-day hikers and give them a lift to the beginning of Whiskey Creek Rd in Main Aim. We will then hike most of the first day of the new Gidjuum Gulganyi Trail before finishing on Middle Ridge Rd with the option of a chilly swim at Hell Hole Falls. We descend into rainforest and rock-hop along a luxuriant section of the Creek. The trail then gently rises along an old logging trail until we reach Middle Ridge Rd with a 1km descent into Hell Hole Falls, then a gentle ascent back to the cars on Middle Ridge Rd. Expect to hear the rich melody of the Albert's Lyrebird calling through the rainforest. Grade 3: Leader Diana 0408 103 542 

We will walk under the light of the moon and bathe in the forest at nighttime – experience another world. 31st May is a 'blue moon' (second moon of the month) but we will walk the Saturday evening before because the moon rises earlier and gives us greater light in the tall forests. We meet at Goonengerry National Park, walk along an open trail without artificial light, spend 20 minutes at a sit spot, and then find our way through the forest to the waterfall to view Wanganui Gorge in full moonlight. For those who would like to stay on, we'll finish with a hot cuppa. Grade 3 About 5 km 2-3 hours. You will need a headlamp, preferably a red light one for low light, and something to sit on. Leader David Roland Email: david@davidroland.com.au

We are coming into peak season for gloworms in the 500m long tunnel, who light up the tunnel with an eerie glow. It is an amazing experience. We will meet at Masterton Park opposite the shops in Burringbar about 5-5.30pm, for an optional picnic, or you can purchase pizza opposite the park in Burringbar.  At 6.00pm we will leave the Park to drive up & park at the Rainforest nursery and walk the 1.5km to the tunnel, and then through the 500m of tunnel, and back. There will be a good moon, rising just after 8pm so the walk back from the tunnel will be in moonlight, but please bring a torch for the walk in.  Grade 2: Leader Lindi 0408348135

I would like to celebrate my birthday with walking friends. A half day walk to the Cougal Cascades and Currumbin creek in the luxuriant rainforest of Springbrook National Park and lunch or drink at a local cafe on the way out in Currumbin Valley. Easy walk along a highly accessible path to the old timber mill and then along a dirt track and crisscrossing Currumbin Creek to the waterfall above Cougal Cascades. We'll swim at one of the pools and move onto a cafe for lunch and cake. Email with final details sent out to registered walkers a few days before the event once the weather forecast is known with suggestions for carpooling.

Starting an at Flinders Way Ocean Shores, we walk North on the Optus trail through Bangalow palms, eucalypt forest,  and paperbark  scrub before diverting east to the beach.  We return from the beach along the Central trail past majestic hoop pines and back to the start of the trail. The walk is about 7km's with some uneven surfaces and probably some creek crossings which will result in wet feet, old sand shoes or sandles are a good option. The walk is grade 2 or 3 and should be easy for most people. It's a beautiful, half day, loop. Bring, shoes that you don't mind getting wet, drinking water, morning tea/lunch hat etc. and swimmers.
