5 Apr 2018 training walks for the participants of the Great Ocean Walk. This will include a weekend at Girraween to accommodate the two walkers from Goondiwindi. As an aside, I am considering forming a Diabetes Walking Club so that there is more exposure to the health aspects of walking in the management of Diabetes. Diabetes Qld is in support of such an idea. Fundraising Agenda The following fundraising activities for Diabetes Qld are on the Bushwalking Queensland Inc. Calendar: BVRT TREK 4 DQ Based on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail there are three events: 100km - Moore to Cricket Pitch, Pine Mountain Road, Pine Mountain July km - Native Garden, Lowood to Cricket Pitch, Pine Mountain Road, Pine Mountain - 15 July km - Fernvale Futures Centre to Cricket Pitch, Pine Mountain Road, Pine Mountain - 15 July 2018 If interested see Gavin.

In lieu of this a discussion will be held at lunch at Baroon Pocket Dam as to what the club will do for a day walk on the 06th May. Another reason of the short newsletter. PILGRIMAGE 2018 Plans are now underway for the planning of the Pilgrimage 2018 being held at Jimna 28 September 2018 to 01 October 2018, in association with Sunshine Coast Bushwalkers Club Inc. Quite a number of walks have been identified, including new ones from the locals, so please think about being a leader. The club is programmed to have a few camps in the lead up and the owner of the Jimna Base Camp has offered free camping to do recess etc. 5
