Visitors
We encourage visitors to first participate in some of our many activities to experience bushwalking, cycling, paddling or other events from a ‘Club Perspective’ and in doing so develop new skills, build rapport with a network of likeminded friends and, fulfil your outdoor ambitions.
Most of our regular activities are held in a region loosely bounded by Phillip Island to the West, Mirboo North to the North and Wilsons Promontory in the South, but we also often host events elsewhere in Victoria, interstate and occasionally overseas.
All activities are suitably graded to enable participants to choose an event in keeping with their level of experience, ability and interest.
Visitors are welcome to participate in up to three club activities before applying for membership.
All visitors and members are covered by the Clubs public liability and personal accident insurance held with Bushwalking Victoria. Nevertheless, as some club events are held in remote areas where accessibility maybe difficult, we do encourage all visitors and members to join Ambulance Victoria to protect against the cost of transport and treatment in the case of an emergency.
