Booloumba Falls Day trip - postponed to date TBA
Posted: July 4th, 2020, 9:27 pm
Greetings all,
We are all feeling the effects of the Covid lockdown and restrictions - so assuming the weather is fine we need to get out of the city and get some light dust on our vehicles.
This trip will start at Kilcoy and head north along the blacktop to the Western end of Sunday Creek Road. Sunday Creek Road is over 40km of dirt road through very scenic forest, and we divert off about 3/4 of the way along to a shortcut to Booloumba Falls.
There is a 1.3km walk down from the falls carpark to the falls along a well maintained walking track and there is a couple of magnificent little swimming holes and the falls themselves to see for those who want to take the full walk, and a coffee/natter session for those who think waterfalls are overrated. (Anyone for a July swim????) We will then push on and stop for a picnic lunch at Charlie Moreland campgrounds. Depending upon the time and inclination of everyone we can then head north to explore up around Imbil township and Borumba Dam (I've never been there) or revisit a track we partly explored a bit further south near Bellthorpe prior to heading for home.
Where: Through the Conondale State Forest to Booloumba Falls
Cost: Free
When: Saturday 25th July
Meeting Place: Meet at Yowie Park at Kilcoy for a 9.15am start. (Western end of Kilcoy)
UHF: Channel 13
Trip Standard: Blue
Trip Leader: Don
