GLASSHOUSE Country Senior Citizens Club members travelled to the Scenic Rim for their March outing, visiting a number of regional attractions across the district.
The Scenic Rim takes its name from the Great Dividing Range, which borders much of the area.
The group’s first stop was at Harrisville’s Summer Land Camel Farm, home to about 500 camels.
Members viewed the ‘day care centre’, where young camels are supervised by older animals.
A nearby large plant nursery was noted, but time did not allow for a visit.
The group then stopped at Kalbar, a well-kept town known for its traditional Queenslander homes and its popular Carrot Festival.
Lunch was held at Elderflower Farm at Keat’s Lagoon, where tables were set up under a large tree.
Organisers said the setting was relaxing, although flower picking was not available due to the end of the season.
On the return trip, members crossed Wivenhoe Dam wall and passed Somerset Dam, both described as looking good following recent rain.
The outing attracted a strong turnout from members.
The club’s April outing will be an eco luncheon cruise on the Maroochy River.
Its AGM will be held on May 12 at 10.30am at Beerwah Community Hall, Peachester Road.
