PICNIC DETAILS

This season's picnic will be at Wentworth Falls Picnic Area, located in the spectacular Blue Mountains National Park. Join us by the campfire for a presentation by our esteemed member, Voytek, with billy tea / coffee, a surprise campfire treat, and our ever popular book raffle draw.

Please make sure to read all the details, below.

Wentworth Falls Picnic Area has big, breathtaking views, and is also an entry point for many magnificent short and longer hiking trails into the remote wilderness of the Blue Mountains, including above and below the falls itself.  The Picnic Area has recently undergone extensive improvements, with step-free pathways, parking, picnic tables, and accessible toilets.

👁️ SPEAKER 👁️

We are delighted to have Voytek deliver a fascinating fire-side talk exploring "Psychonautics - The systemic investigation of altered states of consciousness."  The term 'psychonautics' maybe familiar, and originates from the Greek words psyche (soul or mind) and nautes (sailor or navigator) meaning 'sailor of the mind'.

Voytek is a transparent, GPhC (licensed prescribing pharmacist) with a specialist focus in neuropsychopharmacolgy. He is an outstanding professional who presents internationally. This is a rare and special opportunity not to be missed.
