The Canberra Bushwalking Club, founded in 1961, is a thriving sports club based in Canberra, Australia. With a membership of over 400 individuals, the club is proud to be a member of Bushwalking NSW and actively participates in a wide range of outdoor activities, both within Canberra and beyond.
The club's logo, the Corroboree frog, represents one of Australia's most iconic endangered species. As advocates for the preservation of endangered animals, the Canberra Bushwalking Club has joined forces with the Australian Bilby to promote outdoor exploration and appreciation of the natural world through their organised activities.
While bushwalking, also known as hiking or tramping, remains the club's primary focus, they also offer a diverse range of activities to cater to different interests and skill levels. Canoeing, canyoning, caving, conservation work parties, cross-country skiing, cycling, geocaching, liloing, and various social events are just a few examples of the exciting options available to members. For the most up-to-date information about current activities, interested individuals can visit the club's Facebook page or browse through the activities section on their website.
Monthly meetings, held at the Weston Creek Uniting Church hall on 16 Parkinson St, Weston, provide an opportunity for members to gather, share stories, and plan future adventures. On the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm, attendees can enjoy informative presentations from guest speakers, followed by coffee and tea. The Activities page on the club's website provides detailed information about upcoming meetings and presentations.
As a club with a rich history, the Canberra Bushwalking Club does not have any physical archives to display. However, they continue to create new memories and experiences for their members, focusing on the fulfilment that comes from exploring the picturesque landscapes of Australia.
