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 scenic 16 km hike in John Forrest National Park. This walk features some steep hills, valley views, seasonal waterfalls and great views of the Swan Coastal Plain. The track is gravelly and corroded in places so poles are recommended.
Note that national park fees apply.
Bring morning tea, lunch and water.
We will share cars from Midland Station to the new West Ridge car park in John Forrest National Park. See the orange line on this Google map for directions from Great Eastern Highway.
Meet on the ground level of the multi story Midland railway car park Entrance on Victoria St, 300m West of Helena St (no fee on weekends)
