It can be said that bushwalking can take you to some beautiful places that roads cannot. Often the most beautiful places are challenging to reach but can provide the most satisfaction. If you are prepared to extend the effort you can experience the rewards.
This activity is about getting out and seeing the many wonderful parts of Australia most people never see both local and far away!
Walks vary from short day walks to challenging night treks and multiple day expeditions. There is a walk to suit everyone. Bushwalking qualifications contribute towards Venturer and Rover Award Schemes and Leader Training, or can just help you improve your outdoor skills so you are more comfortable in the bush.
