HINTERLAND Tourism Sunshine Coast (formerly BRBTA) is planning its next Festival of the Walks for August 20-29 and is calling on community members who would like to get involved.

The Festival of the Walks 2010, will include over 24 guided walks aimed at specific interest groups. These will include guided rainforest walks, bird and wildlife walks, longer bush walks, a speed dating walk, land care walk, garden walks, artist studio walk, village music walks, market walks and a children’s story walk. The photographic competition will be launched again attracting entrants from a range of age groups and levels of experience.

Walks will vary in duration from short one hour walks to three to four hour walks and possibly a four day walk.

A major driver for the festival will be a larger scale community fundraising walk. This will raise funds for a local charity group and act as the opening walk for the festival. A community reference group has been formed to help guide and shape this year’s festival.

Anyone who would like to offer a guided walk, a cultural event or assist with the festival please contact the festival organisers by emailing: cu@festivalofthewalks.com.au. Submissions for this year’s program need to be received by 31 March 2010.
