Our walks vary in terrain and difficulty, from one hour Wednesday walks (short and dog-friendly) to advanced weekend walks (longer walks with some scrambling or rock hopping). Visit our My Bilby page via the link below to find a walk that suits you!
Our walks are graded based on distance, terrain, and fitness, as per the table below - Grade M 3 3 is recommended for first time walkers.
Our walk leaders only lead walks that are within their ability and experience, but they are not formally trained or qualified in Bushcraft.
As a backup safety measure, the Club has an Emergency Contact Phone, number 0419 390 169. The person in possession of this phone can contact emergency services in the event of a walk failing to complete by a set time. The Walk Leader keeps this person up to date on the status of the walk and its participants.
Individual walkers are responsible for their own gear. Please make sure you have, at minimum, the Essential Items for Day Walks, below.
