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 12 km walk starting and finishing at Armadale Station. Walking is all on path, with some partly gravel and gum nuts. There is one steep hill at the beginning...while we are still fresh. Mostly in shade in the morning and stopping for morning tea break - BYO. There is an opportunity for coffee at Dome or another cafe afterwards. The walk can be shortened to 9 km if the weather warms up.
Armadale Railway Station - near the entrance of the northern carpark.
