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 16 km hard walk with 75% off track. We will follow the ridge to Mount Gorrie through pleasant Wandoo bushland before descending to Hancock brook. We will follow the brook before another ascent with good views. Morning tea on the hill and lunch by the brook. Cumulative elevation is approximately 300m.
Midland Railway Station - in the main carpark, Victoria Street near the pedestrian crossing.
