A group of locals will be hiking at the Enoggera Reservoir in The Gap to raise awareness and raise funds for the homeless.
The event hosted by Leonie Clark aims to support the initiative being done by Orange Sky Australia. On her Event page on Facebook, Leoni shared how she wanted to help homeless people sleeping rough. Through this event, other individuals wishing to do something can find ways to help.
The hike will follow the 5-km Araucaria Track. Meeting place will be at the start of the track, past the Walkabout Creek Centre, down by the water. The track is a relatively easy hike, suitable for all ages. There will be limited parking, so it is advisable to come early. For those who choose to take the bus, route 385 stops nearby.
