There are clubs of all sizes with many offering walks across Victoria, interstate and even overseas. Most clubs welcome people new to bushwalking and you are certain to find experienced members willing to pass on their knowledge to beginners. Some of our clubs conduct training specifically for people new to bushwalking. Club membership is low cost, with most annual membership fees ranging from $35-$60.
Most clubs welcoming visitors along for a trial. Contact the club to discuss your bushwalking experience and find out about the types of activities on their program.  Many clubs also offer other outdoor activities in addition to bushwalking, such as kayaking and cycling, and other social activities.
Peregrine Club Inc.
Introduction
Peregrine's offer varied walk options for those interested in exploring the coastal and bushland environs of South Gippsland.
Details
The name "Peregrine" was suggested by one of the original members, well-known bird illustrator, Nicolas Day. As our newsletter editor explained: "Peregrines are often seen gliding effortlessly over land and coast, where we planned to walk" and "A peregrine is also a pilgrim or wanderer, an appropriate description for our activities." We have two programs: the 'Other Activities' program (monthly events such as bike rides, kayaking, overnight hikes, base camps etc), and the 'Tuesday Walks' (weekly all-day walks), with each having its own planning committee. Most of our regular Tuesday walkers are retired folk. Traditionally we have a mid-year lunch together after our AGM; a Melbourne Cup day BBQ; a 'Tuesday Walks' Christmas BBQ; and a Club Christmas Dinner. We also participate as a club in numerous local re-vegetation planting days.
