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?

A very pleasant 16km southerly circular walk from Jarrahdale township, which is a 25 minute drive from Armadale.  The walk returns beside the pretty cascades of Kitty’s Gorge. Our route is mostly, but not entirely, on track. There is one long, steepish climb - up Scarp Road after our morning crossing (thankfully, on a bridge) of the Serpentine River.
