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?
Join us for a pleasant walk of 8-9 Kms near the Canning River amongst this diverse bushland. The trail meets or crosses the river at a number of points and is mostly paved with no hills. Please ensure you have sturdy footwear and at least a litre of drinking water. Stay for a coffee at the Canning River Cafe after the event if you wish. As this event may include participants from the Hikewest Seniors hiking program the pace may be slower than usual..
