Barron Connected Pathways

05/08/2026

I just can’t get enough of our backyard and the beautiful pathways connecting us throughout the Barron. 🥾🌿

🌿 This morning, as we walked beneath the rainforest canopy, to Glacier Rock, the trees seemed to be connected through their sprawling root systems, intertwined beneath our feet, supporting one another and sharing the same earth.

🌿 A beautiful reflection of what these pathways create for us, connection to nature, connection to place and connection to one another.

🌿 The golden morning sun, rainforest paths, the sound of the flowing creek, birdsong and the wonderful people we meet along the way.

🌿 Today, we had a beautiful chance encounter with the extraordinarily passionate nature lover and photographer, Tony Kloss.

🌿 Tony photographs the tiny creatures most of us would unknowingly walk straight past. We stopped with him several times along the trail as he shared his incredible knowledge of our local fauna and showed us some of the remarkable insects hiding in plain sight.

🌿 Before long, we were all slowing down, peering into the grasses and looking more closely at the tiny worlds we would ordinarily have walked straight past.

🌿 Tony’s most recent photography exhibition was held at The Tanks in December, and he mentioned that he will be curating another exhibition. We cannot wait to see it.

🌿 What a highlight of our walk, encouraging us to slow down, look a little closer and open our eyes to the extraordinary little worlds all around us.

🌿 Barron Connected Pathways, connecting people, places, nature and community.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Barron Connected Pathways walk on Saturday morning as we explored beautiful Caravonica, nestled beside the Barron River.

Around 12 walkers joined us as we made our way from Lake Placid Caravan Park down to the old Barron River bridge, taking in the beautiful view towards Glacier Rock.

We then walked and talked our way through the dog park next to Kamerunga Villas, where George (Pat’s 🐕) especially loved jumping into the water, before visiting the newly upgraded Lake Placid riverbank.

Many of our walkers had never experienced this lovely local walk before.

We were fortunate to be guided by Caravonica local Wendy Wood, who took us along some of the suburb’s backroads and pathways to explore even more of the area.

The sound of kookaburras calling along the way made the morning even more special. 💚

It was another beautiful morning of movement, conversation, connection and discovering the wonderful pathways right here in our own community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Wendy for sharing her local knowledge. 🥾🌿

Sharing this local community meeting for anyone who may be interested. 💚

If you live in Kamerunga, Caravonica, Stoney Creek or the surrounding area, this is a great opportunity to connect with your neighbours, hear about local issues and future developments, and be part of the conversation.

Strong communities grow when we connect, listen and work together.

Everyone is welcome 😁

The more we know about the places we walk, the more we care for them.

Today, Glacier Rock reminded us that every trail has a story.

The birdsong, the towering trees, the flowing creek and the light filtering through the rainforest invited us to slow down, look up and truly notice.

Walking becomes more than exercise. It becomes a way of building belonging, to each other and to the places we call home.

Every walk deepens our connection. And when we feel connected, we’re far more likely to care for, protect and advocate for the places that shape our community.

What a beautiful morning exploring Yorkeys K**b as part of the Barron Connected Pathways program.

We enjoyed a relaxed walk, great conversation, stunning coastal views and finished the morning with breakfast together HiddenYorkeys.

💚 These walks are about so much more than movement.

💚 They’re about bringing people together, building connections and encouraging people to discover the incredible places we have right here in our own backyard.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning. We hope to see you on the next walk!
