All Nations Bushwalkers Inc

A Sydney Bushwalking Club. You'll enjoy bushwalking Sydney Australia with All Nations Bushwalkers. Bushwalking is commonly known as hiking, rambling, tramping, trekking or trailwalking in other countries.

Bushwalking in the Sydney area and beyond

Come and explore the Australian bush with All Nations Bushwalkers. Visit beautiful national parks and wilderness areas around Sydney and further afield, even interstate. We have a graded series of walks (day walks, weekend camping trips and longer), bike rides and water-based activities, and there's a social programme too. Join us! © M Lobo-Guerrero

As a member, you'll receive a bushwalking and social programme every 3 months. Come along!

Most of our activities involve bushwalking in the national parks within 100km of Sydney, including the Blue Mountains, Ku-ring-gai Chase, Royal, Wollemi, Bouddi, Brisbane Waters, Dharug, Marramarra and Sydney Harbour national parks, or the parks and reserves of the NSW Southern Highlands and Illawarra regions. In Sydney, we're lucky to have these great places close by. Why not enjoy them!

We have walks which suit a wide range of fitness and experience levels. Most are day walks, ranging from quite easy to rather hard. There are weekend overnight camping trips, and longer extended expeditions have included destinations all over Australia - bushwalking by day, enjoying the companionship of the campfire at night. Great fun!

© N Collins To go bushwalking for a day, you need appropriate footwear (eg walking boots or joggers with good grip), a rain jacket and a small backpack to carry lunch and water. See programme for details.

You can also go on social activities, including restaurant nights, cinema and art gallery visits, Christmas parties and various special outings.

Getting to an activity is easy. We generally meet at a train station and then car pool to the walking track. You won't get lost and don't need your own transport!

Our members are men and women of all ages and nationalities.

Club history. Formerly the All Nations Club Walkabout Group, founded in 1962 to assist overseas and interstate immigrants to settle in Sydney. Incorporated in 1992 as ANC Bushwalkers Inc. We became All Nations Bushwalkers Inc. in 2003.

Membership is only $35 per year, plus $10 for each additional family member (if they join the club). This pays for insurance, the newsletter, etc. Unlike some other clubs, you do not have to pay the club a fee each time you go on an activity (but you do pay for transport). Members are welcome to attend club meetings (listed on the programme).

To join us, fill in a membership form, sign it and send it to us with the membership fee (our address is on it). Click here for membership form.

Or give it a try first. Simply choose a bushwalk on the programme and give the organiser a ring. Say you are thinking of joining the club. He or she will describe the activity so you and the walk leader can see if it is suitable for you.

There is a $7 visitor contribution (which helps in running the club). Please pay this to the walk leader. However, if you join on the day, there is no need to pay this. (Give membership form + membership fee to walk leader).

If you've got questions, please email Membership Inquiries.
