About
Sydney Bush Walkers is one of Australia's largest and oldest bushwalking clubs, based in Sydney. Their passion for outdoor adventure in the spectacular natural areas around Sydney, Australia, and beyond unites the members as a bushwalking group. The club's hallmark is leaving no trace and practising self-sufficiency in the Aussie bush.
Sydney Bush Walkers offers a vibrant community for experienced off-track bushwalkers looking to discover new areas and meet new people. With a large membership base and a strong programme of overnight and off-track walks on most weekends, it's an excellent fit for those seeking challenging adventures.
For regular bushwalkers who mainly participate in day walks on tracks, Sydney Bush Walkers can help take their adventures to the next level. The club provides opportunities to explore overnight walking and venture off-track, expanding the range of experiences available to its members.
While the club may not have a wide selection of easier walks on their programme, new bushwalkers can explore other options before joining Sydney Bush Walkers. They can visit bushwalkingnsw. Org. au/join-a-club/ to find a suitable club offering easier walks.
However, regardless of experience, attending a New Members Information Night is highly recommended to learn more about the club and determine if it's the right fit.
The club's website provides members with access to a Members Content section. This section includes the full Activities Programme, which encompasses walks, canyoning, and other outdoor activities. Members can also find advice on gear, information on first aid and insurance, the club's history, wildlife sanctuary information, publications, and contact details for committee members.
Sydney Bush Walkers values and acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Country throughout Australia, honouring their continuing connexion to the land, waters, and community. The club pays respect to their cultures and Elders, both past and present.
To stay updated with club news and events, members and interested individuals can follow Sydney Bush Walkers on Facebook.
