Halloween Forest Camping Weekend
31st October – 1st November
Help create habitat on a private property among the beautiful landscape of Tallebudgera Valley. We will be creating habitat along a beautiful creek with waterfalls! We will also be helping out in food forest… lots to see and do and have fun.
We hope you can stay the night with camping under the stars! If you can’t camp or don’t have tent let us know. But you can come for the day, night or a few hours. We will be watching a doco on the Saturday night!
It will cost $30 to help cover catering… wood fired pizzas! And bring a TSHIRT to screen print too. You can either pay cash on the day or online 🙂
What to bring:
– tent, camping, sleeping equipment
– clothes you don’t mind getting dirty
– your swimmers
– jumper / something to stay warm
– raincoat just in case
– sturdy shoes / boots
– hat, suncreen etc.
– guitar or other musical instruments 🙂
– snacks and drinks

PLEASE TRY TO BRING STUFF NOT WRAPED IN PLASTIC 🙂 We try to limit our enviro footprint as much as possible.
Other logistics!
Please arrive at around 8am. Be careful not to miss the turn off into 264 Petsch Creek Road. Follow the driveway up the hill. If you have an old car or something go steady. It is concreted so you should be OK. At the top you will see an electric button to open the fence. Be patient, it will open. Then follow signs / other people cars and drive up to the main house and park to the right – near a dam.
Once you arrive we’ll get you to sign on and then organise your tent / sleeping arrangements. Then will be get into the action!

Lake Clean-up Day is ON AGAIN!
2015-10-18 09:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Morialta Park, Wild Duck Drive, Gold Coast , Queensland , 4218, Australia
Every year an amazing amount of rubbish is removed from the lake and surrounding foreshores highlighting the need to do this on a regular basis.
It would be great if we could get as many residents as possible to help and give the lake a “Spring Clean” just in time for the swimming season.
The clean-up day is planned for Sunday the 18th of October at 900 am followed by a free sausage sizzle around 1200pm. If you cannot make the clean-up feel free to catch up with your neighbours at the BBQ afterwards.
The meeting place will be in Morialta Park off Wild Duck Drive. Location marked X in the map below. See the events tab on the website for full details.
See you there!

But seriously… Intrepid: an adjective for fearless, adventurous and humourous.
Intrepid Landcare: an outreaching branch of Landcare that brings adventure, fun and diversity to the movement while engaging young Australians.
Gold Coast Intrepid Landcare: carving futures on the Gold Coast.
“Once upon a time – in March 2015 – an inspiring bunch of local youth got together to dream up a better future for Landcare on the Gold Coast.
This lead to the establishment of Gold Coast Intrepid Landcare. To connect Gold Coast youth to the Landcare movement and inspire generations of change makers” – co-founder leaders, Paula van Breda and Juliet Saltmarsh.
