We promote bushwalking and actively encourage participation in day walks in many different areas ranging from suburban parks to nearby mountains and historic walks in the suburbs of Melbourne. There are Base camps, in Victoria and interstate. They vary in duration from a few days to several weeks. Tents, caravans, cabins and ski lodges provide a variety of accommodation options. Walks are shared by members for which only day packs are required. Some members volunteer to share pack carry walks over a number of nights  to places you may not otherwise be able to visit. Participants need to carry all the necessary items for camping in remote locations. These are all great ways to meet the challenge of navigating your way, climbing mountains, learning about our natural areas. Our monthly newsletter, Walklines, contains info about forthcoming  activities, reviews of recent events and other relevant news or issues that may be of interest to members. Visitors with little or no previous bushwalking experience are encouraged to walk with us to "give us a try". Please note, we are not a bushwalking service provider. We are a mutual association where members share their skills and knowledge to promote bushwalking  to encourage others to engage in this active recreation. For information about joining the club and suitable equipment see the Membership page or attend one of our monthly meetings.
