Catholic Walking Club of Victoria Inc
Activity Details
Introduction:
A great opportunity to enjoy bushwalking with friends. Due to the size of the Club many people know each other and welcome newcomers to the group.
The Catholic Walking Club of Victoria (CWCV) was founded in 1951 and has for its objectives the encouragement of bushwalking and allied activities and the fostering of a greater love of the outdoors.
Membership is open to anyone eighteen years of age and over and actively interested in bushwalking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
A bi-monthly Walks Program promotes day, weekend and extended bushwalking, ski touring and cycling trips in varied country to encourage members to have a wider appreciation and better understanding of the wild and natural environment.
It would be unusual to find a weekend during the year which didn't have a club activity and we also offer Wednesday walks once a month. Walk gradings range from easy to hard to cater for all levels of ability.
The Club also participates in activities which benefit the wider community, such as tree planting and track clearing.
A range of equipment is available for hire for people new to bushwalking.

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.
