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?
This very special walk is on the Numbat Trail in Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary near Gidgegannup. The trail is a beautiful scenic 12 km loop walk with steep stepped paths and an elevation gain of 495 m. Due to the terrain this is a full day walk and classified as hard. Walking poles are recommended for those that use them. Bring morning tea, lunch and plenty of water as none is available on site. Paruna is owned and managed by Australian Wildlife Conservancy.
Note that an entrance fee of $11 per person applies for this event. This should be paid in cash to the walk leader on the day. For club visitors this is in addition to the $5 visitors fee.
If you intend to come please contact Alex by 4th August as a bookings need to be made.
