All Geocachers are invited to share an afternoon (or whole weekend) of fun and friendship at our August Event. We will host this event at Dunethin Rock Scout Camp and Water Activities Centre on the Maroochy River.
Dunethin Rock is situated in a tranquil, peaceful setting adjacent to Lake Dunethin and the Maroochy River.
Address : 4 Lake Dunethin Road, Maroochy River 4561
The afternoon will kick off at 2pm on Saturday 31 July and will finish at 5pm. Please bring a chair or picnic blanket to sit on BYO food and drinks. We do hope to have a sausage sizzle (COVID permitting) and there might be a birthday cake too!
A few lucky door prizes will be on offer.
We have had so much fun at our previous events and we thoroughly enjoy the company of those who attend. 
We are looking forward to seeing everyone!
For those among us who enjoy camping, you have the option of arriving Friday and staying until Sunday afternoon. Camping costs are $9.50 per person per night (no power). Facilities are well maintained. Yes, the showers are hot! Geocachers will have exclusive use of the Camp Grounds for this weekend. Please advise in your log if you intend on camping in tents or are bringing a camper trailer so that we can allot spaces. Unfortunately, due to council changes, we can no longer accommodate motor homes and caravans.
There are no shops within walking distance so please bring everything you need with you.
For those geocachers not camping, we are required to pay a day use fee per person. We will have a container on hand and ask that you consider a donation towards this cost as prices have risen considerably to date.
Information for campers.
Campers will have access to the main hall and kitchen. This will mean that you can spend less time packing and setting up and more time caching. The kitchen has a microwave, oven, jug, crockery, cutlery and a coldroom. The main hall has tables and chairs.
There are many high Terrain river geocaches on the nearby Maroochy River and other family friendly geocaches nearby. GZ is the gateway to many other caching locations on the Sunshine Coast.
Please log your will attend and your intent to camp, or not so we can keep an eye on the numbers of people attending for COVID reasons.
In the past, some people have chosen to stay on a night or two. Unfortunately we are unable to offer extended stays this time as the campsite is booked to others. Thanks for your understanding.
HOW TO GET TO
DUNETHIN ROCK SCOUT CAMP
Travel via Bruce Highway, turn off at the Yandina exit and take the first turn left into Vee Road, and left again onto the Yandina-Bli Bli Road. Follow this road for approximately 5 kms. At the end of the long straight stretch, turn left in Pearce Drive (gravel road) turning left again into Lake Dunethin Road. Please enter Dunethin Rock Scout Camp through the second gateway.
Alternatively, from the south, you can exit at the Nambour Connection Road passing by the Big Pineapple, traveling through Nambour and turning right at the Yandina Caravan Park into Wharf Street. This leads on to become the Yandina-Bli Bli Road with the same instructions as above.
You may also take the Nambour-Bli Bli Road exit traveling east and turning left after the Bli Bli State School into Willis Road and Thomas Road. Dunethin Rock Scout Camp signs can be found on the Yandina-Bli Bli Road. Turn right into Pearce Drive and proceed down the hill and turn right into Lake Dunethin Road. Dunethin Rock Road is a very narrow gravel road.
