Fed Walks 2026
A weekend held once a year by Bushwalking Victoria,
it brings together almost all of the walking clubs in Victoria.
It is a fabulous event in which clubs gather in a location in Victoria to walk together over the weekend, usually 20 day walks are on offer as well as a dinner on Saturday night.
This year was hosted by the Friends of the Great South West Walk - GSWW in Portland
As a relatively small group they did themselves proud in the organisation of the weekend and a fabulous celebration on Saturday night at the Portland Golf club, with a sit down dinner, a band and lots of dancing and much fun
Our club had 32 people attend the event and everyone had a great time

A Winter Circuit in Brisbane Ranges NP, 4-5 July
Situated approximately 80 kilometres west of Melbourne near the town of Meredith the Brisbane Ranges National Park is famous for its rugged red-dirt gorges and as Victoria's richest wildflower habitat. A blend of quiet roads, Burchell Trail and off-track walking made for a very interesting circuit designed to introduce walkers new to multi-day walking to the pleasures of exploring on foot.

Mount Macedon Willimigongon route, Sunday 7th June
With 30km of connecting trails throughout Macedon Regional Park, it’s no wonder visitors drive the short distance from Melbourne to enjoy a bushwalk. Our Sunday walk took us up a little used track that highlighted the diversity of the hidden forest environment as we completed a rewarding 12km circuit.

Valley Reserve to East Malvern, Thursday 4th June
Melbourne is blessed with parks and gardens, many forming linear passages along creek valleys or former development sites accessible by public transport. A little rain on Thursday did not deter our group of hardy walkers from following an interesting route from Valley Reserve (Mount Waverley) to East Malvern!
