Government House invites you to a community bushwalk around the Fernberg Estate from 9am to 10 am, ahead of World Arthritis Day on 12 October.
This community bushland walk event will be hosted by Government House in partnership with Her Excellency's patronage organisations Health and Wellbeing Queensland, which aims to promote a healthy and active state, and Arthritis Queensland.
Participants should have a medium fitness level, as there are some challenging hills and uneven surfaces, including gravel pathways. Unfortunately, this event is not wheelchair accessible.
Participation is free, with walkers required to register their attendance through this Eventbrite page.
Entry to the Estate is via Gate B, with street parking available on Fernberg Road and surrounds.
The pathway is approximately 1.1km in length and winds its way through the ten hectares of bushland occupying the Estate.
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable walking clothes and sturdy shoes and to bring a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle.
Unfortunately, pets (with the exception of assistance dogs) are not permitted.
Health and Wellbeing Queensland will kindly provide walkers with fresh fruit and water.
Entry to the Government House Estate is subject to all visitors following the protocols outlined on the Government House website.
