Activity Details

The Walkabouters Club of Victoria is a member club of Bushwalking Victoria, located in Belgrave, VIC, Australia.

As part of Bushwalking Victoria, the club welcomes walkers, outdoor adventurers, and nature lovers to its bushwalking community.

Membership in the club offers opportunities to meet new people, improve fitness, and enjoy outdoor activities.

Annual membership fees are typically not expensive, with most clubs charging between $35 and $60 per year.

Visitors do not usually need to be members to join an activity; many clubs welcome trial participants.

Bushwalking Victoria organizes a variety of walks, including one-day walks on Sundays and Wednesdays, multi-day base camp walks, and short Stroller walks mid-week (excluding Wednesdays).

Walks range from short, accessible paths to longer hikes of 10 km or more, often involving hills.

Participants should wear solid shoes or boots, carry rain gear, and bring a day pack with lunch, water, and spare clothing.

For Sunday walks, some experience and a reasonable level of fitness are recommended to complete a 10 km walk with hills.

Stroller walks are ideal for those recovering from injury or seeking a gentler pace.

Bookings for walks can be made online via the Bushwalking Victoria website, usually up to two days before the event.

Visitors should contact the club Secretary to receive the Leader’s contact details before joining.

Base camp walks are planned well in advance, and early booking is recommended.

Many clubs also offer additional outdoor activities such as kayaking and cycling, along with social events.

About the provider

Bushwalking VIC

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.

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.
