As per the Club Origins page, we will be celebrating 60yrs in 2025 as a bushwalking club. We may have had a name change along the way, but one constant has been the name members affectionately use all the time to refer to the club, and that's "The Bushies". We will be posting information here about our upcoming anniversary plans.         

 

Here we are in our Diamond Jubilee Year. What a milestone!!! Anniversary Events will be posted here and on our calendar, so watch out for them.

There will be walks created and base camps back to some of the areas first walked.

Definitely need a Jubilee Cake !!!

Our first calendar item has been created. Make sure you register to enable a booking at the café for 6th April. Old club members are joining us. 

Meeting at the southern side of the Goodwill Bridge, near the Ship Inn – there is plenty of public transport – walk east to the new Kangaroo Point Bridge near Story Bridge – cross the new bridge and walk through the Botanic Gardens to The Gardens Club Cafe for coffee and morning tea - a table will be booked - then short walk back over Goodwill Bridge to Ship Inn – the walk is about 4.2 km and takes about an hour active walking time.

Some members can reduce the walk by taking a Kitty-Kat to Holman Street Ferry Terminal, and then we can all walk the new KP bridge together and continue through the  Botanic Gardens to the café.

For our 50th anniversary ...... Highlights were

  • Club records, trip reports and photos were scanned into an electronic archive
  • More than 3000 photos from each decade of the club were collected
  • Memorial walks back to the first club walks were held to Mt Barney, O'Reillys and Mt Warning
  • Photo displays and gatherings with current and past members
  • Bush Dance
