Our Annual Kirby Road Conservation Reserve base camp is open for all members and prospective members. Kirby Road Reserve is a Sunshine Coast Council owned reserve that our club has been working on developing hiking tracks for a number of years using grant moneys received for that purpose.

At this point of time there are no permanent facilities - camping or toilets. Our Club applies for a permit from Council to conduct this camping weekend on the Reserve.

Some Club members will set up the communal camp area (porta-loos, dining area and fire pit) on the Friday morning with any other Club campers arriving in the afternoon. There are no shower facilities and the toilets will be porta-loos hired especially for the weekend. All campers will require their own tent and to supply all their own food and beverages for the weekend. Drinking water and water for cooking/washing purposes will be supplied.

Access to the camping area will be through a locked gate. The internal roads do require high clearance or 4wd vehicles but we can transport camping gear from cars parked outside or organise carpooling from town.

There will be some exploring of the walking tracks on Saturday afternoon and a walk on Sunday. These walks will be open to campers and also anyone who would just like to come out for the day. More detail on these walks will be supplied closer to the date.

Anyone who would like to stay on the extra night - Sunday - and leave Monday morning would be welcome to do so.

This is a top weekend for getting to know other club members and just generally chilling. Highly recommended.

This camp will open for registrations at the June meeting to allow time to allocate resources to the numbers registered.
