The Canberra Bushwalking Club organises walks in the Canberra and
south east NSW region and sometimes further afield. The club aims to
provide an interesting and varied program of walks each weekend, ranging
in difficulty from easy day and part-day walks suitable for beginners
through to multi day off track walks for experienced walkers only.
A modified version of the latest
activity program is available here. For privacy and security reasons,
the names and telephone numbers of most leaders have been removed. To
become a member you first need to go on a walk.
The Club meets at 8pm on the third Wednesday of the month (except December
and January) at St Johns church hall, Constitution Ave, Reid. Many of
the programs are illustrated talks about walks people have done, while
others are designed to inform members about various aspects of walking.
Non-members are welcome at these meetings.
In December and January, the meetings are replaced by a Christmas Party
and an outdoors social event (barbecue or picnic) at an outdoors location
close to Canberra.

The Club is affiliated with NSW
Confederation of Bushwalking Clubs which has a
Policy on Natural Areas.

The picture at the top of this page is of
the Brindabella Ranges taken from the Pinnacle, on the southern fringe
of Hawker. Mt Stromlo can be seen in the relative foreground on the
left of the picture, the Tidbinbilla Range, with a 'bite' taken out
of the top about a quarter of the way in from the left of the picture
and Mt Coree the rounded peak on the right. The range is in the Namadgi
National Park, one of the Club's favourite haunts.
