Melbourne Womens Walking Club
Introduction
MWWC is an active club for women walkers of all ages and includes both metropolitan and country members. Our program covers a wide range of activities, however the club's primary focus is bushwalking with walks of various types, gradings and distances frequently scheduled.
Details
The Melbourne Women's Walking Club was formed in 1922 by a group of young women excluded from the men-only Melbourne Walking Club.
The Club aims are to: promote and encourage walking and an appreciation of the environment; organise walking trips and other outdoor activities; foster social activities among its members.
Activities include daywalks, backpacking, base camping and accommodation trips. Members can also participate in cycling, canoeing and conservation work. There are also regular social gatherings throughout the year and a training program in bushwalking skills.
