Walking route:
The 1.5km North Gorge Walk on Pt Lookout is one of South East Queensland's most stunning coastal walks. It offers breathtaking coastal views, beautiful bushland, and the opportunity to spot wildlife. The walk is suitable for all ages and follows a loop path with some stairs involved. After the walk, we will continue along Frenchman's Beach, Deadman's Beach (including the whale track), and Cylinder Beach. If you'd like to swim, Cylinder Beach is a safe option. Afterward, we'll have lunch at the Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel before returning to Dunwich to catch the ferry back to Brisbane.

$2 admin fee:
Please be informed that there is a non-refundable administration fee of $2 for this event. This fee is in place to minimise the administrative burden caused by "no-shows" and "click warriors" who RSVP to every event and do not turn up. I hope this additional step will help ensure that spaces are reserved for those who are genuinely interested in joining. Additionally, the small administration fee helps cover the costs associated with hosting events on Meetup.
** A full refund will be provided via PayID if the event is cancelled or rescheduled.
