Activity Details
Introduction:
CAEX is a Melbourne based club that caters to a wide range of interests and skill levels and aims to offer a range of easy to medium walks. We do mostly day walks, with weekend base camping trips also very popular.
What is in a name? For members of the CAEX Bushwalking Club part of the answer means living up to our motto, 'Bushwalking for Pleasure'. One of the ways we do this is each activity leader brings a cake to share over a cup of tea or coffee at the end of the walk. This tradition began with our first walk and has continued ever since. Our activities are planned to ensure safe enjoyment of the bush and other natural places. We do mostly day walks, with weekend base camping trips also very popular. Our activities have a strong social element, both on walks and social activities, which are held regularly. CAEX (pronounced 'cakes' of course) was formed in June 1982 by a group who had completed a bushwalking course run by the Council of Adult Education (CAE), hence the unusual name. CAEX is a small and friendly Melbourne based club with members of many nationalities and occupations who live all around Melbourne and beyond. Members range in age from 45 to 75. We invite you to explore our website and Contact Us if you would like to know more about the club.

Thinking of hiking/bushwalking groups?
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.
In terms of structure, social hiking groups can vary. Some groups may have a designated leader who plans the route and sets the pace, while others may be more informal, with participants simply showing up and hiking together. Some groups may meet on a regular basis, such as once a week, while others may be more sporadic.
