What is in a name? For members of the CAEX Bushwalking Club part of the answer means living up to our motto, 'Bushwalking for Pleasure'. One of the ways we do this is each activity leader brings a cake to share over a cup of tea or coffee at the end of the walk. This tradition began with our first walk and has continued ever since. Our activities are planned to ensure safe enjoyment of the bush and other natural places. We do mostly day walks, with weekend base camping trips also very popular. Our activities have a strong social element, both on walks and social activities, which are held regularly. CAEX (pronounced 'cakes' of course) was formed in June 1982 by a group who had completed a bushwalking course run by the Council of Adult Education (CAE), hence the unusual name. CAEX is a small and friendly Melbourne based club with members of many nationalities and occupations who live all around Melbourne and beyond. Members range in age from 45 to 75.
