The Western Australian Family Bushwalking Club Inc, based in Perth, is a sporting club that focuses on providing family-friendly activities that promote a love for the outdoors. The club is run by member-families and volunteers who organise various activities such as easy day-walks, multi-night hikes, canoeing down the Blackwood River, mountain biking, and camping during the school holidays.
The club welcomes people of all ages and their events cater to individuals and families who enjoy spending time in nature. The club aims to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. Each parent or guardian is responsible for the safety of themselves and the children under their care during club activities.
Membership in the club comes with certain conditions. Adults members are covered by club insurance, and non-members can attend day activities by paying a fee that can be offset against the membership fee for that year. Only paid-up members are permitted to join overnight activities and member-only events. Each adult is allowed to bring a maximum of three children on club activities, unless prior arrangement is made with the activity organiser.
The Western Australian Family Bushwalking Club Inc and its members do not accept liability for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur during club activities. Pets are not allowed on club activities, and war toys are discouraged. Participants are encouraged to respect the bush and wildlife, following the principle of “leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photographs.
Membership in the club comes with the opportunity for members to organise their own club events and to nominate themselves for the committee. The club has a policy regarding the sharing of photographs, requiring that members accept the possibility of their family being photographed and that these photographs may be shared on the club's private photo-sharing site and newsletter.
To become a member of the Western Australian Family Bushwalking Club Inc, individuals or families can register for the annual membership. The membership duration is one year, and the fee for the first adult is $50. 00.
