Bushwalkers of Western Australia
Winter
Summer
Walking is a year round activity. Bushwalkers of Western Australia Inc (BOWA) based in Perth has a complete annual programme. In Winter (May to October) longer walks of up to 20km in length are undertaken. These require a full day and most of the information about walking presented here applies to these walks. From time to time the Winter programme will include, for variety, a shorter half day walk. In Summer members maintain fitness by shorter walks around the Perth environs which are completed before midday. On almost every Sunday of the year it is possible to sample the experience of walking with our club. How do I get started?
Medium Walk
Medium difficulty walks. Up to 17 km on paths or tracks, possibly some cross country navigation. Modest hills expected and some scrub possible. Minimum of 2 litres of water. These may be suitable for beginners providing they have basic fitness. They are qualifying walks and count towards a membership application. Visitors are welcome - call walk leader first. A $5 fee is charged for visitors.
