Like Minded Walkers,
Tuesday 23 August: Binna Burra to walk the 12km Dave’s Creek Circuit.This walk has a great variety of scenery and views and is one of the most popular walks in the Lamington National Park.
There are slight inclines on the way out but no real hills or steps but the distance will be good training for the walks out at The Main Range in September.
You will need boots or runners with a good tread. Wear layered clothing that can be put in your backpack as you warm up. Bring morning tea to have at Surprise Rock.Lunch will be back at Binna Burra so bring your own or eat at the kiosk.Make sure you have enough water. Bring poles if you like using them.
The road up to Beechmont closes at 8.30am for repairs so we must be away from Riverlea on time at 7.30 am .It reopens at 2.30pm to come down but if we are finished before then we can come back the Canungra Way.
Meeting Place: Vince Hinde Park,Nerang next to Riverlea Waters Drive.
Departure Time 7.30 am.
Petrol Contribution: $7 but a bit more if we come back via Canungra.

Malcom Roberts will be speaking at the Brisbane Community Forum, Voting Matters about the lack of evidence for the climate change legislation on Tuesday 23 August at the Tingalpa Hotel in Brisbane. In the last sitting week in Canberra the House of Representatives passed this legislation to the Senate for consideration. If it passes the Senate it will commit Australia to a 45% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. The goal is net zero by 2050. This legislation will come before the Senate in September and is likely to receive support from the Greens, Teals and some Independents.

There is zero evidence to justify the march towards net zero. There is plenty of evidence that demonstrates that renewables will never meet our energy requirements. To “save our planet” we are seeing a monumental destruction of the environment, from vast tracks of land covered in single-use unrecyclable solar panels to the removal of 14 million trees in Scotland for wind turbines. It is lunacy.

Join us for what is an urgent message; there is no evidence that carbon dioxide from human activity changes climate and there is no need for this legislation. Continuing down this path will lead to wholesale destruction.

Start time: 7pm
Tingalpa Hotel
1563 Wynnum Road
TINGALPA
Entry is free, but a gold coin donation is appreciated.
Parking is available onsite and in the adjoining Kianawah Park.
