Welcome to Bushwalking Queensland

Bushwalking Queensland Inc. (BWQ) is the peak body that represents the interests of bushwalkers and members of 24 affiliated clubs in Queensland, Australia. It is managed by a Committee of representatives from those affiliated clubs.

To access any of our clubs, simply click on Join A Club on the sidebar.

Walking with a club provides the following benefits ....
• sharing of local knowledge of bushwalking areas
• economy of effort in running away trips to remote wilderness areas
• learning how to walk safely in the bush
• gaining an appreciation of natural areas by practising minimum impact walking techniques
• improving your fitness
• developing bushcraft skills
• experiencing bush adventures in a supportive, not-for-profit cost-sharing basis
• expanding your real-life social network!

Whether you desire an easy straight forward graded track walk with like minded people, or something more challenging, our affiliated clubs have something to offer for everyone.

Each year, our clubs meet up for combined camps - a chance to expand your horizons and your network of fellow bush enthusiasts.

In South East Queensland, the clubs meet each August for the Annual Pilgrimage.
This year Pilgrimage 2010 was organised by the Toowoomba Bushwalkers Club Inc. at the Crows Nest Showgrounds from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd August 2010. Click on Pilgrimage on the sidebar.

In Central Queensland, clubs from Bundaberg to Mackay join together for the Combined Clubs Camp, held over the May Long Weekend each year. In 2011 it will be organised by the Gladstone District Bushwalkers Inc.

Join A Club , have fun, make new friends!
