Try Bushwalking Month – November 2024

Try Bushwalking Month is a celebration of 90 years of Bushwalking Victoria.

Affiliated bushwalking clubs from across Victoria are opening their walks up to new participants, to showcase the incredible benefits of bushwalking with a club.

With 60+ walking events across Victoria during the month of November 2024, there’s a walk for almost everyone.

Walks being hosted by the Warbybushwalkers during this event are,

  • White Box Walk at Chiltern (Sat, 2 Nov, 8:15am – 1pm)
  • Mount Glenrowan via Chick Hill (Sun, 17 Nov, 8:15am – 2:30pm)
  • Kangaroo Hill, Eldorado. (Sat, 30 Nov, 8:15am – 3:30pm)

Why bushwalk with a Club?

Discover new places you may not have had the confidence to navigate yourself, its a relief to know you won’t get lost.

Learn from more experienced walkers, or give back by passing on your knowledge to others sharing your walk

Learn specialised outdoor skills, first aid training and advanced navigation, as well as extensive leadership training

Clubs provide safety and support in case of injury, weather, wildlife and personal security.

Clubs are a low cost way of getting outdoors on a regular basis. With most club memberships under $50 for the year, bushwalking clubs are a great budget-friendly recreation activity

Most clubs have public liability and personal accident insurance, a great peace of mind in case something happens

Build your confidence, abilities and self-efficacy both on and off the tracks

Clubs offer the opportunity distribute loads across the group, particularly on day and multiday walks. Some clubs even offer free or low-cost hire equipment to their members.

Clubs are a source of social connection, sharing amazing experiences in the outdoors, as well as other social activities, with others who appreciate it.

See the list of clubs below, and the link to the Bushwalking Victoria website.
