A walk, bike ride or horse ride up the length of the gorge road, which follows and crosses the Condamine River 14 times. The return route is an easy 20km with some gentle slopes.
The day will end with a delicious barbecue hosted by the Killarney Lions Club.
Please bring water, some money for the Barbecue and sensible walking or riding clothes, including hats and sunscreen. As the mountain weather can change rapidly it is adviseable to include wet weather gear and warm clothing. This year the river will be flowing, so you may need a change of clothes if you are walking.
