Walking through any piece of natural bushland is as close as you'll get to being at one with nature. To be surrounded by the sounds, colours, smells and different types of life forms with which you share this planet is both enlightening and exhilarating.

hphp_logoBushwalking is one of the most pleasurable activities Western Australia has to offer and, what's more, it's good for you. It is one of the least expensive forms of excercise and one of the most beneficial. It can ease stiffness, improve cardiovascular fitness, reduce stress, help control weight and is especially beneficial if done regularly. Walking is probably the single most important form of physical activity for many people and it's enjoyable too. Why walk on a treadmill when you can stride into some of the world's best sights and sounds in a nearby park?

To make your bushwalking experience even more enjoyable, we have provided a wide range of information (listed in the related items to the right) to help you plan either a short walk or an extended series of walks.
