TOWNSVILLE HIKE AND EXPLORE GROUP – CHRISTMAS 2024
Break out the Christmas Cheer and join Townsville Hike and Explore at our ‘Christmas Party’ event on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December.
Set up from 2pm Saturday with departure by 12pm Sunday.
We are excited to announce this year we will be celebrating at Big Crystal Creek Camping Area.
It’s been another massive year for our group across numerous fronts, and we reckon there’s no better place to celebrate and see out 2024 than by coming together around the campfire with great company and lots of laughs.
We have a FUN FILLED afternoon and evening of activities and entertainment planned on the Saturday evening!
\*\*Please note the area is within the Paluma Range National Park.\*\*
Camp sites MUST BE BOOKED prior to arriving on QLD National Parks website.
