Details Gold Coast Bushwalkers Club Inc. have confirmed the date for this year's Pilgrimage ....... 22-24 August 2008

A little bit of background information on what the pilgrimage is about.

Sometime before 1970, a group of walkers from the Brisbane Bushwalkers Club went on a walk up Mt Barney. They decided it was a good idea and did it again the following year. As the popularity of this annual pilgrimage grew, the decision was taken to host this event at other sites to accommodate the increasing number of walkers wanting to take part.

The Pilgrimage is held each year in August/ September. This year it is Gold Coast Bushwalkers Club’s turn to host this event.

Mt Nimmel Lodge is the site chosen for the pilgrimage and is a 15 minute drive from Mudgeeraba on the Austinville Road.

There will be a full programme of activities on the Saturday, eg: walks, bike rides, canoeing, and a bush dance in the Mt Nimmel Community Hall on the Saturday night.

They will be sending out a further bulletin to all clubs with more information and website details towards the end of March/beginning of April.
