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?
I am starting the walk from the car park on the corner of Egina St and Britannia Road in Mt Hawthorn. Car park is not marked on my Google maps but the free pile of mulch is! There is plenty of parking in the area. Walk is a mixture of Lake Monger, Lake Herdsman and quiet suburban streets. It is about 8kms and will finish at a coffee shop near the starting point.
