Lesbian Overland and Café Club

The Overlanders toddled off into the sunset ... to join the Wellington Wanderers in 2024.

The Lesbian Overland and Café Club was a social walking group for lesbians and their women friends. The first Overlanders walk was in November 1990; it continued on from the Lesbian Tramping Club which had it's first outing on 12 March 1988 - a walk to Butterfly Creek in the hills behind Eastbourne ... the Overlanders went there a few times as well. The final Overlanders walk was at Hemi Matenga, Waikanae in April 2024 ... more on the Overlanders page.
