Bendigo Bushwalking & Outdoor Club Inc
Activity Details
Introduction:
Go Bush with the Bendigo Bushwalking and Outdoor Club. The club is based in Bendigo and conducts a range of non-competitive outdoor activities throughout Victoria's diverse environments, with some interstate and overseas trips as well.
The club was formed in early 2008 with the merging of two long-standing clubs from the Bendigo area, the Bendigo Bushwalkers and the Bendigo Outdoor Club. The combined resources and strengths of both clubs are now enjoyed by the members of the Bendigo Bushwalking and Outdoor Club. Our members come from all walks of life with interests ranging from easy strolls to demanding wilderness trips. Activities include day walks, overnight and extended bushwalks, base-camping with day walks, canoeing, kayaking and rafting, mountain-bike riding and cross-country skiing. Members come together at informal monthly meetings to socialise, receive the newsletter, talk to leaders, get information about forthcoming trips and to chat about recent trips. Visitors are welcome to come along to a meeting to meet people and see what's coming up.

Day Walks, Base Camp Walks

About the provider
As Victoria’s peak body for bushwalking, we represent all bushwalkers and bushwalking clubs in the state. Now an incorporated organisation, our roots go back to 1934 when the Federation of Victorian Walking Clubs was established. In 2006, a major restructure modernised the organisation and we adopted our current name to better reflect our key area of interest.
We work to unite members of Victoria’s diverse walking community – bushwalking club members, people from organisations with similar interests and individuals.

Social hiking or bushwalking groups can be organized by a variety of organizations, including local parks and recreation departments, hiking clubs, and online communities.
The benefits of joining a social hiking group are numerous. For one, it can provide a sense of community and motivation, as you have the support and encouragement of others to help you stick to your hiking routine. Hiking groups can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends, especially if you are new to an area or looking to expand your social circle.
