SEPTEMBER 2026 Outing Details - Back to the '50s at Crows Nest Falls,on Sunday 6 September 2026

The Toowoomba Field Naturalists
on an early outing

This gathering is to replicate and celebrate our 75^th year of outings, many of which were to the Crows Nest Falls before it was gazetted a National Park in 1967. They were under-taken when dress was more formal - women wore long frocks and men wore braces. Please consider coming dressed in the mode of the early 50’s. 

This is also a good opportunity for our members to invite any known past active members or local identities with a natural history interest – it is open to all. Bring along a friend and enjoy the day. 

Date: Sunday 6 September.

Meeting Time: 9.30 am.

Where: Crows Nest National Park, camping area.

Description: The day will begin with ‘boiling the billy’.  Permission has been obtained from National Parks for us to use a fire-pit in the camping area as none are provided in the day picnic area. Please bring some firewood if you have any available. Some members have offered to bring damper; more will be welcomed.

Activities: After morning tea, walks along the creek, and to the 20-metre waterfall can be made.

Level of Fitness: National Park walking tracks, clambering around the creek (optional).

Facilities: fireplace, toilets. 

What to Bring: suitable clothing and closed footwear for walking in the bush, morning tea, and a chair in case there's not enough seating at the campsite.
