The Bimblebox Alliance Inc. (TBA)

When: Sunday 4 – Monday 12 September, 2022.

Where:
The Bimblebox Nature Refuge is approximately 450km west of Rockhampton and approximately 50km north of Alpha (Queensland). Bimblebox is an 8000 hectare, never been cleared, woodland environment in the Desert Uplands Region of central western Queensland. The Bimblebox Nature Refuge is supposed to be protected for perpetuity, but instead it has been fighting against big coal for 15 years! Currently the Bimblebox Alliance is in the Land Court of Queensland objecting to Waratah Coal’s application for final approvals.

Who:
Open to artists, writers, photographers, musicians (all creatives), scientists and all those who are interested in experiencing the Bimblebox Nature Refuge.

How many:
There is a cap of 20 participants.

Volunteers:
We need three volunteers to prepare for and help run this camp – can you or someone you know volunteer?

Cost:
$20 per day (toward food costs)

What:
Explore the spring bush flowers and the dynamic natural environment of the Bimblebox Nature Refuge. Camp for one week to experience and explore this peaceful haven for wildlife while you pursue your area of creative work and study. Enjoy Paola’s cooking and the company of others who care about Australia’s bushland.

Note: The Bimblebox art, science and nature camps are self-funded and self-directed, while the Bimblebox Nature Refuge is a remote bush camping site away from towns, shops and medical facilities. We ask that you have good health, a basic level of fitness, willingness to rough it out and that you are happy to be in a quiet bush environment.
