Welcome

The Canberra Bushwalking Club was founded in 1961 and has over 400 members. We’re a member club of Bushwalking NSW and we walk in all sorts of places, not just Canberra!

Our logo is the Corroboree frog–one of Australia’s most iconic endangered species. We endangered animals need to stick together so we’ve teamed up with another very special friend, the Australian Bilby. Together, we hope to help you explore the great outdoors on one of our activities.

Activities

Our main activity is bushwalking (aka hiking, tramping). We also offer canoeing, canyoning, caving, conservation work parties, cross-country skiing, cycling, geocaching, liloing, and social activities.

Check out the Activities we currently have on offer.

You can also check us out on our social media pages to see what we’ve been up to lately:

How to Join

Once you’ve been on one activity with the Club as a Guest, you can apply for membership, or you can do up to three activities to make sure we are a good fit for you.  You need to apply for membership before doing a fourth activity.

Membership is only $40 per annum.  Check out How to Join for more information.

Monthly Meetings

The Club has monthly meetings at the Weston Creek Uniting Church hall, 16 Parkinson St, Weston. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month, except December and January, at 7:30 pm, with coffee and tea afterward. Each meeting will feature a speaker giving a presentation on an interesting topic. Meeting details can be found on our Activities page.
