Walking is a year round activity. Bushwalkers of Western Australia Inc (BOWA) based in Perth has a complete annual programme. In Winter (May to October) longer walks of up to 20km in length are undertaken. These require a full day and most of the information about walking presented here applies to these walks. From time to time the Winter programme will include, for variety, a shorter half day walk. In Summer members maintain fitness by shorter walks around the Perth environs which are completed before midday. On almost every Sunday of the year it is possible to sample the experience of walking with our club. How do I get started?
A medium to hard 12 km walk from Bells Rapids Park. Taking a clockwise loop with fine views, there are steep ascents and rocky descents. Elevation gain is around 470 metres. Walking poles are recommended. Stops for morning tea and lunch.
Midland Railway Station - in the main carpark, Victoria Street near the pedestrian crossing.
