We will be stopping in Emerald for lunch Saturday and again in Gembrook mid-afternoon Saturday for anyone wanting to purchase dinner goods and maybe a few beers for later on! From Gembrook it’s a leisurely cruise into Kirth Kiln regional park.
There will be provisions for morning tea and lunch along the Warburton trail on Sunday.
We will be staying together as a group so self navigation is not expected however I will print cue sheets for everyone on the day.
