Billy Drumley was a local hero who worked to make his community a better place. Our annual walk honours this man, and all men and women who have worked to make their local community a better place. Now in its fifth year, it follows the footsteps of Billy Drumley in the early 1900s as he regularly set off on a 60km journey to check on his sister and her family. His trail takes us from the country centre of Beaudesert, up through the forests of the Gold Coast hinterland, and down along the Nerang River to the coastal centre of Southport. Drumley, at the age of 86 completed the walk in a day. Although he passed away more than 50 years ago, Billy Drumley is still remembered with great admiration throughout the region. His community regard him as a local hero. This walk keeps the stories of his life and times alive. |

“It was an exciting time when Uncle Drumley came down to Southport. Sometimes he would bring Bun-neen (echidna) for the kids." - Patricia O’Connor (nee Yuke) |
