Upcoming Walks

It’s that time again — GWN Summer Camp is back!
December 29, 2025 to January 7, 2026

Pack your tent, grab your walking shoes, and get ready for some summer magic!
Summer camp is super relaxed and go-with-the-flow. Each day is shaped by the group’s energy. We gather after breakfast and again before dinner to chat, share ideas, and plan some awesome adventures. Feel free to do your own thing too – it’s your holiday!
 
Part 1: Tribal Grounds – Nannup (29 Dec – 2 Jan – 4 nights)
We’ll ring in the New Year at our beautiful Tribal Grounds, near Nannup. There’s a cozy hut, water, a gas kitchen (no campfires, sorry!), shady spots under the pines for tents, and space in the hut for a few campers (first come, first served!).
While these are the planned dates, you are welcome to arrive earlier or stay later.
 
Part 2: Boranup Camp – Caves Road (2 Jan – 7 Jan – 5 nights)
On 2 January, we’ll shift gears and move to Boranup, where the wonderful Malcolm Mortimer is hosting us at his beautiful property under the peppermint trees. It’s right across from Boranup Drive, winding through the stunning Karri Forest — just 20km south of Margaret River. There are local walks, secret spots to explore, and nature galore just a short drive away. The GWN Bus and truck will meet us so we can prepare our meals together. We will pack up camp on 7 January leaving it just as we found it!
 
What to Bring
While GWN will have some basics, please bring your own food – around $40–$50 worth of fresh fruit, veg, bread, dairy, or anything you need to suit your diet. And don’t forget an esky to keep it all cool if you’re at the Tribal Grounds.

What is the great walk?

Great Walks are about camping together in nature, walking the land and living in community. We organise food, walks, activities and provide equipment including a bus, kitchen facilities and a marquee for shelter. Everyone shares the responsibilities and we love having people of all ages come together. Walks are organised for interest and variety and cater to all levels of ability, with pick up points often available. The camps are family friendly, vegetarian, drug and alcohol free and encourage environmental / social care and awareness.

Where

We mainly walk in the South West of Western Australia and have occasional walks inland and further north.

When

We organise two walks per year during Autumn and Spring school holidays, plus a summer camp. Camps run for around 10 days.
