The club’s newsletter, “The Investigator”, is produced on an ad hoc basis with the first newsletter for the calendar year issued for the start of the year after the Christmas recess. The newsletters are available in PDF format.
Due to the recent weather over the summer period, many walks have been closed pending maintenance work being carried out.
Therefore walks may change at the last minute.
On the 26th July 1799, Matthew Flinders sailed up the Pumicestone [River] Passage, into Glass Mountain Creek till the water was too shallow. He then set out on foot to climb a mountain to get a better view of the land, and decided on Mount Tibrogargan. Camping in the area of Mount Tibrogargan, Flinders noticed it was too difficult to climb and opted for Mount Beerburrum instead.
Being the first European to climb, in fact probably the first person ever to climb them as the aboriginal people, the Gubbi Gubbi held the mountains as taboo to climb as there were demons on the slopes led the club to name its newsletter in his honour. One of the greatest voyages he did was around Australia in the “HMS Investigator”.
