About 18 months ago we went on the "World Wide Web" with a primitive page, but since that time is has progressed to become the most accessed bushwalking page in Australia. Since 1st November 1997 over 6000 people have visited this site ,at http://www.bushwalking.org.au

The information is geared to the new walker and experienced alike. All clubs registered with a federated body are listed (over 200 throughout Australia). Information on weather, help with walks, even some great camping recipes and 100’s of other items.

Some clubs have taken the opportunity to put on their own information, such as activities programme (minus names, phone numbers and meeting places) newsletters and even some photos of their walks. These clubs have benefited from this with quite a few new members. Your club can benefit from this free service too.

All you have to do is send to the webmaster an IBM formatted disk with any information you would like to put on your page. Most applications can be accessed, Word, Works, RTF, TXT, Word Perfect and a few more. Send it ‘attached’ to an email or by snail mail. The webmaster will design your page and put your club on the web.
