The Coast and Mountain Walkers of NSW (CMW) is a prominent bushwalking club located in Sydney. With a rich history dating back to 1934, CMW is known for its vibrant community and passion for exploring the scenic national parks surrounding Sydney.
CMW offers a diverse range of walks, catering to hikers of all levels of experience. From leisurely strolls along well-defined tracks to more challenging off-track adventures in rugged terrain, there's something for everyone. The club also takes pride in organising weekend overnight camping walks in stunning locations such as the Blue Mountains and Kanangra-Boyd National Parks. These trips offer a chance to fully immerse yourself in nature and create lasting memories with fellow walkers.
For those who prefer day walks, CMW arranges regular trips to national parks near Sydney. These shorter excursions are ideal for members who are unable to commit to longer journeys but still want to enjoy the beauty of our local wilderness.
CMW encourages its members to take on leadership roles by leading walks and organising social events. This inclusive approach fosters a sense of belonging and promotes a supportive community where everyone can contribute and share their love for bushwalking.
Before the pandemic, CMW held monthly meetings at Burwood RSL, creating an opportunity for club members to come together and learn from guest speakers, club members conducting talks, and photo presentations. The topics ranged from bushwalking and conservation to other fascinating subjects related to the great outdoors. Additionally, CMW hosts various social events throughout the year, including restaurant nights, the Annual Dinner, the Annual Club Campfire, and the Christmas picnic.
Although the pandemic has affected our ability to gather in person, CMW has adapted and continues to organise occasional events at Burwood RSL. While we eagerly await a return to normalcy, we encourage those interested in joining CMW to visit our official website for more information on how to become a member.
