Activities
- Day-walks are generally in National and State Parks within a reasonable driving distance of Gisborne and car-pooling is used as much as possible. However, walks that can be accessed by public transport are also offered.
- The day-walks are generally scheduled for two weekend days in each month plus a mid-week walk each month.
- There are occasional full pack-carrying activities.
- Walks of varying grades are offered during the year.
- A number of base camps with a series of integrated day walks are offered during the year. Recent examples include : Anglesea, Mt Buffalo, Falls Creek and Phillip Island. Cabin-style accommodation is usually offered for these activities.
- Occasionally, interstate base camps are arranged, such as to Tasmania, NSW or ACT.
- Walk Leaders are members of the Club who volunteer to identify a suitable walk for their chosen date, then check the suitability of the walk, provide a description of the walk for the Newsletter and co-ordinate transport arrangements for the day. The Leader then takes responsibility for the successful completion of the walk on the day.
- Provided appropriate arrangements are made by the Walk Leader, all walkers who are club members (or signed-up temporary members) and the Walk Leader are covered by insurance made available through the Club’s affiliation with Bushwalking Victoria.
The following lists the activities for the next month. Walk Grades are detailed on About Us page.
