Hi there,
Happy Holidays and a very Merry Xmas
As another year draws to a close and a long summer of fun awaits we would like to thank you all for the time you have spent outdoors, for the way you have shared you passion and enjoyment of the things you do outdoors and for the support you have given us as we strive, on your behalf, to make it easier to get outdoors and to encourage more people to get into a new outdoor activity.
Have fun in the sun, look after each other, be safe, take care of Queensland.
Live Life Outdoors
See you on the other side
