Renew membership

If you are paying by cheque or in person, printing out and filling in the pdfmembership renewal form might be better.

You can pay your membership giving your name for the reference or description by an electronic transfer to
Warrnambool Bushwalkers BSB: 803 073 Account: 1 0000 1283

For insurance purposes a member must confirm that they accept the conditions of membership and acknowledge the risks involved in walking and similar activities. If there are two of you, we're sorry but each of you must do this and so each must fill in this form. However, you can pay for both memberships with one transaction.

Some photos of our activities

Being on the coast, we do many beach walks

Warrnambool to Port Fairy and back by bus

Sometimes there's more than beach to see

Sometimes a bit more beach would be useful

We do climb mountains ... track clearing on Mt Abrupt

Volcanic sites like this Byaduk lava course provide good day walks

We might spend a day walking in the leech forests of the Otways

Returning to our jail cell after a day's stroll on Maria Island

Occasionally we pedal to Port Fairy along the rail trail for a coffee

... or along the Timboon trail, thinking mudguards anybody

We do overnight walks - 10 days around King Island's coast

The two days walking on Lake Corangamite's mud were "interesting"

The Larapinta Trail was our longest overnight walk for a few years

... a second Larapinta picture because it was so great

Camping by the car for a week in the Flinders Ranges ...

... the camp's one of those dots down there somewhere

Wyperfeld National Park is a good place for a ...

... base camp with lots of day walks to do

Ditto for the Great South West Walk ...

after the Glenelg River's morning mist is gone
