Bushwalkers of Western Australia
Winter
Summer
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?

This 14.5 km historical walk takes us along the Kattamordo Heritage Trail to the site of Masons Mill and follows the (rocky) downhill route of the Mason and Bird wooden horse-drawn tramway. We follow an undulating track beside Munday Brook through pretty wandoo bushland, and visit the old Victoria Dam wall and the new Victoria Dam. The track along Munday Brook is a little overgrown in places and is slippery in wet conditions.
