Little did a small group of bushwalkers know, when they went on their first club walk to Salty Lagoon back in 1976, that their club would still be thriving 50 years later.
This October, the club, now called the Northern Rivers Outdoor Adventure Club, will hold several anniversary events.
This Saturday, many former members will join current members for a celebratory lunch. This will be a feast of storytelling and reminiscing.
And later this weekend, club members will head to Tyalgum for what is now an annual event – several days of hiking, cycling and kayaking. Plus, of course, lots of socialising.
