Sun 12 Nov | Queer Nature Connection & Campfire Dinner

Queer Nature Connection in partnership with RiverConnect will facilitate a nature connection activity specifically for the Queer Community. Nature doesn’t discriminate, and nature is very queer, so we’re all about encouraging people to connect with nature for wellbeing, healing and community. If fire restrictions allow, we will cook some food on a campfire for dinner! If not, other catering will be arranged.

Venue: Reedy Swamp, Reedy Swamp Road, Shepparton North – TBC
