After the success of Walks Back In Time in 2022, another event was held, this time featuring visits to Munro's Camp, Andersen's Tramway, Birding with Bernice Seton, hearing about the Bunyas/Bjelke-Petersen connection and a visit to the Bush University amongst others.  A whip cracking display from the students at St Johns Lutheran School entertained us at lunch time too!

Walks Back In Time
Bunya Mountains
September 17-18, 2022

Visitors and locals were welcomed to significant and historical places of interest on the mountain - including some places that are usually out of bounds.  A bus transported us around from place to place and lunch was enjoyed on the green at Dandabah.  An historical enactment was held on the verandah of the old school house.
