Pilgrimage 2026 Information
Come along to a mini-Pilgrimage weekend event based at Binna Burra Lodge - for a “no frills” event, no bushdance - but no fees.
Date: Friday 7th to Sunday 9th August 2026  Come for the weekend or just for a day!

Bunkhouse accommodation:   BWQ have booked the bunkhouse, with each of the 4 rooms sleeping 6 people. See separate 'Bunkhouse' event on Member Jungle to seek interest by anyone interested in utilising one of the 6 beds – in which case we can enter the ballot to be allocated one of the rooms. Please register if you’re interested – so we know whether to go into the ballot – albeit without any guarantees we'll be successful.   If registering for the Bunkhouse option - please also register under this event to signal your attendance.

Alternative accommodation:  Clubs can make their own accommodation bookings through Binna Burra Lodge. There are 4 other choices of accommodation, in addition to the New Lodge currently under construction.
 Campsite
 Safari Tent
 Tiny House
 Sky Lodge
Otherwise, there is camping available at Canungra, or you can attend just as a day walker (albeit with an early start and a long drive).  Note: The New Lodge is expected to be completed by July but there is a wait-list for bookings.  The private ‘Alcheringa’ with two holiday houses is also available for rental at Binna Burra.

See the Binna Burra Property Map for accommodation layout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OeIyMtIZib2ulir9d1UaEfJbgw6aGc0X/view

Groom’s Cottage Bushwalkers Bar: The gathering spot will be the Groom’s Cottage with conviviality around the fire pit – clubs may wish to bring some nibbles to share. Snacks and drinks can also be purchased in Groom’s Cottage and the nearby Teahouse is available for meals. A self-catering cooking facility is located nearby.

Walks Program to be finalised by 2 Aug:  BWQ will be inviting leaders from the club network to lead walks on the Lamington NP graded track system on both the Saturday and Sunday. Any suggestions for additional activities such as bike rides would be welcomed.. Clubs are requested to email the BWQ secretary if they can provide walk leader(s)

Join us …
 join fellow bushwalkers to welcome back Binna Burra!
 check out the New Lodge with its gardens re-established by Friends Of Binna Burra (FOBBS)
 take in the magnificent view from Mt Roberts once again.
 check out the Happitat Cliff Adventure Park which is now open.

Please note: There will be no bush dance and no Pilgrimage Fee.

We hope to see you there!   [Pilgrimage attendance is only open to members of a bushwalking club - so if you're not yet a paid member - please sign up! ]

 

Although Jason will take on (for now) answering questions and coordinate attendees, his attendance is not guaranteed, so be prepared to attend as an individual.

This event is just before our Flinders Ranges expedition, so it may not suit everyone.
