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?
The Kangaroo, Kingfisher and Echidna trails take us to some great outlooks from 25mts to 260mts elevation (cumulative 380mts) and a chance to see some colourful wildflowers. Following the scenic Avon river on the last 2.5 Kms from Syds Rapids to the carpark. Some steep climbs and descents. Walking poles recommended. Park fees apply ($10/car concession).
Midland Railway Station - in the main carpark, Victoria Street near the pedestrian crossing.
