FOR YOUR BUSHWALKING SAFETY
- DON'T WALK ALONE
- TELL SOMEONE WHERE YOU ARE GOING
- WALK WITH A CLUB
Who are we?
We are a non-profit association operating in Queensland Australia and affiliated with Bushwalking Queensland Inc.
What do we do?
We keep Queensland bushwalkers safe by teaching them to navigate, belay, and look after their parties. When that fails, we help the police find and rescue them. We do research to support those goals. The rest of the time, we walk and climb to challenge ourselves, stay ready and have fun.
