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 medium difficulty 16 km walk in John Forrest National Park. The walk is mostly on track, though there are several steepish hills, including one downhill section on slippery gravel. Our route takes us from the Morrison Rd/Pechey Rd car park through the Park’s southern section to Glen Brook Dam and in a loop around the Hovea Falls area.
Midland Railway Station - in the main carpark, Victoria Street near the pedestrian crossing.
