Welcome
Welcome to the Waverley Bushwalking Club – your gateway to fun, fitness and friends in Australia’s natural environment!
For more than 35 years our club members have enjoyed the natural environment in the company of other friendly travellers. Walking in the Australian bush in the company of others provides a high level of social interaction while staying fit and healthy. We offer over 200 events a year – day walks, overnight hikes, back packing and base camps.
Walk With Us
Come along and give us a try – you do not need to be a member to walk with us to find out more about us. We are a friendly group and will be keen to introduce you to the joys of bushwalking.
December and January Walks of the month
On Wednesday 10 December we have an easy walk for someone looking for their first walk with the Club:
– The walk is the Corinella Circuit which is an easy walk along the shores of Coronet Bay and surrounding farmland with excellent views of French island and Philip Island. The distance of the walk is 10km and is mostly flat ground including 2km of beach walking.
If you have made a new year’s resolution to start walking here is an ideal starting point. On Wednesday 7 January we are holding an evening walk 6.5km walk through the forests and bushland of Dandenongs National Park:
– We start from Grants Picnic Ground and do a gentle-paced 2.5km loop on the Bleakley & Ridge Tracks with a short, steep ascent up Tregellas Track. We then do a 4km loop using the Lyrebird Track & pass Cooks Corner. On return to Grants Picnic Ground, we have a BYO BBQ or picnic dinner at the picnic ground. This is the easier loop of the two walks being conducted on the same day – both walks meet back at the Picnic Ground at about the same time for dinner.
See the Register to Walk page (accessed via main menu) to find out how to register.
Come To A Meeting
We meet on the second Monday of each month (except January and December) in the Mount Waverley Community Centre, 47 Miller Crescent, Mount Waverley at 7.30 pm.
We will have a speaker, a run through of the events for the next few weeks and finally, light refreshments. This is a great opportunity to talk to us about our club and to discuss options for walking with us.
