Seven great reasons to join the Great Australian Bushwalk in 2007:

  1. SAFE - walk in safety: walk with a group and an experienced guide.
  2. SPECTACULAR - visit magnificent parts of Australia's natural environment - from rainforests to rockhopping, mountains to beaches, marshland to sand dunes.
  3. FREE - all walks are provided at no charge.
  4. EASY - you don't need to be super fit. You don't need expensive equipment. You don't have to drive for many miles. And in no time you'll feel a million miles away.
  5. HEALTHY - have fun and improve your fitness at the same time. Walking is proven to be great for everything from asthma to diabetes, weight loss to heart health. And it is much more fun than the gym.
  6. SOCIAL - Meet all sorts of new people from your area and across the country. Make new friends.
  7. PROTECTING - support the protection of Australia's natural environment by enjoying this event, presented by leading bushwalking and conservation groups.
