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 16km walk with a gradual ascent to the base of Boonering Hill, then a steeper climb to the top. Great 360 degree views from the top including Mounts Vincent, Cooke and Randall. Also expect a visit from the resident eagle. Note the 8:30 start as there is a drive of around 35 minutes down the Albany Highway from Armadale to the start point.
Armadale Railway Station - near the entrance of the northern carpark.
