    Thanks from the Gumburu Team

    Thank you to all of our groups for their visits in 2015 including teachers, parents and students! I took over from Mr Bill Venn as centre manager at Gumburu in April after he retired - big shoes to fill, and it has been a wonderful experience made easy by a fantastic team of staff, great support from the Townsville Catholic Education Office staff and all of the groups that have visited us in 2015. We are looking forward to a very busy 2016 as we are almost fully booked out for the year – we look forward to welcoming you experience Gumburu and the rainforest on the Paluma Range. Tony O’Connor
