RSVP and cancellation policy
If you RSVP and then can’t attend an event, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required to cancel and remove yourself from the confirmed list. Once cancelling within 48 hours of the event, notification via a message and a legitimate reason is required (please note that weather forecast/rain is not considered an acceptable reason), otherwise this will result in a first warning and then if it happens a second time, it will result in your removal from the group.
The reasoning for this is that every event members on the waitlist would miss out on attending at the expense of others, so this is to make attendees accountable for their RSVPs and to be considerate of others wishing to join on the waitlist.
Thanks for your understanding.

Springbrook - Warrie waterfall circuit ⛰
Corowa Park, 5 Chinderah Rd, Chinderah, AUHey everybody,
It's time to go back to magical Springbrook National Park to hike a beautiful waterfall loop! The waterfalls should be pumping with water at the moment and there are 8 on our hike, so it's an ideal time to go.
After a drive from our meet up point of approximately 1 hour, we will reach the trailhead and start our hike. The first half of the track involves a descent of 600 meters and we will pass many beautiful waterfalls along the way.
At the bottom, we will stop and sit by the "meeting of the waters" which is a special place where rivers meet, ideal for lunch and swimming (weather dependent given it's still winter season!).We will then ascend back up 600 meters to out start point, with a spectacular lookout spanning all the way out over the Gold Coast towards the end of the hike.
Overall, the loop we are going to hike is approximately 14km and takes in an amazing 8 waterfalls as well as some breathtaking views along the way.
Following the loop, we will finish off with a quick drive to a short 5 minute stroll named the "best of all lookouts" (pictured). On a clear day, you can see all the way from Byron Bay to the Gold Coast and everything in between.
After this lookout, we will then head back home.FITNESS INFO
