STW2B (see Walk Gades page) Prospective Members Welcome Limit 12 Bring overnight hike and camping gear and tucker. 1 breakfast, 2 lunches, one dinner snacks and water. Untreated tank water is available at campsite. This is a relatively easy introduction to overnight hiking and camping. Prospective members need to discuss the trip gear and fitness requirements with me before joining this walk. Experienced hikers who just feel like a short overnight in the bush are welcome. We will leave our cars at Sam Kelly Rd Gheerulla which is about 8km from Kenilworth. From there the track follows the maintained and signposted Sunshine Coast Great Walk, crossing Gheerulla Creek before a steady climb to the Thilba Thalba walkers camp. The distance is about 6km and the height gain is about 360 meters – less than “two Mt Coolums”. We will be taking our time -maybe 3 hours. The campsite is only 450 meters from Delicia Rd where we will have a club member’s vehicle parked to reassure any beginners that there is an “escape hatch”. There is also spotty Telstra coverage. Taking our time we will arrive at Thilba Thalba well before mid-day. After lunch those who want can join our 2.7km each way walk out to the Gheerulla Valley viewpoint for afternoon tea. Thilba Thalba walkers\' camp is set within magnificent scribbly gum forest with grassy understorey. The Thilba Thalba viewpoint provides spectacular views over the Gheerulla valley. On Sunday morning we walk back down to our cars.
