CUBS: Bushwalk (Cascades Walk - Maq Pass)
Event information
Cubs will be walking the Cascade Trail.
Rain is expected the preceeding weekend, and we may catch the taik of a shower on the evening.
The activity will go ahead in rainy weather.
Parents are encouraged to join us for the stroll. The track is mostly flat, with just a few metal stairs at the end near the waterfall.
