Family Fishing Fun Weekend hosted by Butterfly Valley
February 2024 – Dates still to be assigned
Nathan and Tom from Butterfly Valley are fishing nuts as you could possibly tell from all of our fishing posts on our Facebook page 
and we’ve been considering the idea of organising a family fishing trip based from Butterfly Valley that would be on land and sea early 2024.
We think it would be an incredible opportunity for families to bond while enjoying the stunning scenery, fishing around our local area and making new friends.
Picture this: a whole weekend of fishing and bonding with your family, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Butterfly Valley and Cardwell. You’ll be swapping fishing stories, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and making memories that’ll last a lifetime. 
All you need to bring is your own boat and food, and book your accommodation at Butterfly Valley. Simple, right? Plus, think of all the new friends you can make! (If you don’t have a boat we might be able to boat pool somehow).
We’re still in the planning stages, so we’re open to suggestions and ideas from you all.
Would you be interested in joining us for a weekend fishing adventure? What are some things you’d like to see included in the itinerary? Please send us a message through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/butterflyvalleyqld
Choose from yoga and spiritual retreats or a fishing fun weekend with the fam.
