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?
Meeting at 9 A.M. Armadale train station, then its an easy 22 kms drive to the parking site on Alcoa Rd Karrakup.
We will then walk through the picturesque pine tree, grass tree and fern scenery in the Karrakup State Forest. So the foliage is good. Easy walking mostly on track with odd occasions off track, through relatively open country.
UPDATE : full to 3/4 day walk , 12-14kms kms, 9.00- 1600
Armadale Railway Station - near the entrance of the northern carpark.
