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?

- Category:

Description
An easy and beautiful walk of around 6.5 km along the Canning River from Canning Bridge train station.
We will walk across the Canning Bridge north side, then along the river to Mount Henry Bridge, then return. There are several places where we can detour down to the river's edge. There is a possibility of a coffee stop along the route if people are keen.
Public transport is recommended as there is no parking at Canning Bridge station, so the meeting point is the bus stop just west of the station.
Alternatively, catch up with the walk near the Raffles Hotel, where the bridge cycle lane meets the dual use cycle path, under the palm tree. A possible parking place would be the Canning Bridge Library car park on Canning Beach Road.

Description
Take the Mandurah line to Canning Bridge, then the stairs or lift to street level. Turn right and walk towards the city, where you'll see a zebra crossing with a bus shelter on the other side. That's our meeting point.
