  It will be about a 1&1/2 - 2 hr flat and accessible walk around circular quay. We will update details regarding start and finish point/s once the final map is released from VIVID organisers. Most likely to be from Harbour Bridge to Opera House (as per photo).

  Food & beverages are avaliable along the way.

  Harbour City Bears' Woof in the Woods is back for winter!

  Our winter camping event is back! We’ve booked out Barrington River Lodge for an extra long weekend, Thursday 13 August to Sunday 16 August.

  
  

  What's On

  The days are free for you to relax and explore the local area.

  Thursday night we've got a BBQ and camp movie night, with BBQ dinner supplied, and a camp movie classic, follow by drinks and chats around the fire.

  Friday night it's pizza night! The lodge has recently installed a pizza oven, so bring along all your goodies to make your own pizzas! After you've made your dinner, we will have bear beats for us to enjoy, as well as other Friday night activities that our previous attendees know and love- there's a dancefloor, a play area, and bears ready to go!

  Saturday night make your own dinner in the shared kitchen or BBQ, or head into town to one of the local pubs. After dinner, relax with a drink around the campfire, play some games, do some stargazing, or find out exactly what it is that bears do in the woods at night.

  
  

  Accommodation Options

  The venue has lots of indoor sleeping space and heating. There’s lots of options to suit every budget.

  The Retreat

  The most luxurious accommodation is The Retreat, a private cabin separate from the rest of the lodge, with a fully furnished queen bedroom, bathroom, lounge room and full kitchen, as well as a verandah with its own BBQ.

  
  

  
  

  The “Family” Cabin

  There’s also another cabin available, with two bedrooms. You can book out the master bedroom with its queen bed or take the bunk beds and trundle bed in the second bedroom. The cabin also has its own bathroom, full kitchen and verandah.

  
  

  The Lodge

  The main building is “The Lodge”. It has lots of rooms in a variety of configurations, as well as a large lounge room and full kitchen. The rooms available as whole rooms or as beds in shared rooms. Bunks, queens, trundles, and whole rooms are available. The beds in the lodge don’t come with bedding, so you’ll have to bring your own sleeping bag or blankets.

  

  Camping

  If you’re a hard-core camper, there’s plenty of space to camp on the site as well. Be aware though the site is a little bit smaller than previous camps, so you won’t be able to range quite as far away from the main group.
