Why go bushwalking?

It's never too late or too early to start bushwalking. Bushwalking can be done at a number of varying intensities and is easily tailored to the abilities of the participants, whether they are 3 or 83. Even if you have participated in very little activity in the past, starting to do some bushwalking can set you on the road to improved health.

People who enjoy regular bushwalks often:

• Live longer
• Are less likely to have a heart attack
• Feel more energetic
• Manage their weight better
• Have a healthier blood cholesterol level
• Have lower blood pressure
• Have stronger bones and muscles
• Experience increased joint range of motion or flexibility
• Feel more confident, happy, relaxed and able to sleep better
• Have an improved sense of well being

PLUS you experience the joy of being away from all the stresses and noise of daily modern life, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful views of Australia's natural landscape and fauna.

Group bushwalking also provided a wonderful opportunity to meet new people with similar interests and learn from experienced walk leaders about the plants, animals and landscapes you visit.
