BPACS June Outing

The BPACS June outing is to Springbrook and the walking track at Purlingbrook Falls (Circuit). The track is 4 kilometres long and takes about 2 hours to complete. The walk does require a moderate level of fitness as there are several hundred steps along the way. This area has some pristine rainforest, with several species of endemic palms and cycads. The forest could be cool in places, depending on the weather (and it is winter!), so bring along some warm clothing. The scenery is spectacular and passes underneath Purlingbrook Falls which drop more than 100 metres. After the walk we will stop for lunch at one of the local cafes'. For those intending to do the walk, please …
