HU Queensland 2014 Meeting moved to Beaudesert, 3-6 Oct, 2014
We have some great news! The excitement of being on the road with adventure travel is growing by leaps and bounds, and we have busted out of the seams of our venue at Dayboro. It's time to move on to bigger and better. We've listened to your feedback, and the organizing team has spent a lot of time looking at possible venues.
We're pleased to announce that our 2014 venue is the Beaudesert Show Grounds. Shane Kuhl and Helen Black are the local hosts for this event, ably assisted by Scott & Sarah McMurtrie, Carien & Derek Swale, John Harpour, Karen Lewis, Anthony Holzwart, Stuart Bradley and Marcos Linhares.
All of us are thrilled to have more presentation rooms so we can run two streams of talks at once, lots of camping space with choice of shade if desired and more powered sites, and last but certainly not least, more toilets and showers! The local community is a bit larger, but just as welcoming, and there are motels, restaurants and shops within a short walking distance. Very importantly, the area boasts more on-road and off-road riding, like Queensland Moto Park, the Border Ranges and Lamington National Park.
The 2014 theme is "The Achievable Dreams". We will still have keynote speakers who have done amazing trips but we also want to shine a spotlight on smaller, more achievable trips for the average joe - trips that can be done during your annual leave or long service leave as well as amazing places to see in Australia.
It's the closeness of our ever-growing adventure community that makes Horizons Unlimited what it is today, so please mark your calendars for 3-6 October, 2014. Note the later date! Registration is now open with early bird rates until 31 January.

We'll be there, and hope to see you there!
Grant, Susan, Shane and Helen

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
