The Border Bushwalking Club has over 150 members, ranging from the very young, to those who won’t admit to anything. Some are fit, and others are hoping to be.

Our members come from all walks of life; you get to meet a wide range of people who you may not come into contact with in your normal life. After 40 years we still have several foundation members in the club. All members have a keen interest in bushwalking, the outdoors and in the fitness and health benefits that come from these activities.

We are always keen to welcome new members, whatever their bushwalking experience or fitness levels, as our activities cater for a wide range of preferences and abilities. 

All our activities are led by volunteers within our club membership, and we are affiliated with Bushwalking Victoria.  https://bushwalkingvictoria.org.auSee our newsletter –  Footprints and the events calendar (right of screen) for an idea of the activities that we engage in.
