Sullivan Rock - Monadnocks (14km Loop) - Sun 11 Oct 8am
Ye Olde Narrogin Inne, 2 S Western Hwy, Armadale WA 6112, Australia, Armadale, WA, AUThis is a hike best suited to our regular group of experienced hikers.
Elevation gain: 350m and a decent walking pace.This is a beautiful hike. We start from Sullivan Rock, hike to Mt Vincent, then Mt Cuthbert to Monadnocks Hut (part of the Bibbulmun Track). The way back is along a firebreak.
Huge granite outcrops and sweeping valley views make this hike through Monadnocks Conservation Park a standout choice. Starting from Sullivans Rock, the path follows the Wagy (marker of the Bibbulmun Track). The trail will lead us over the summits of Mount Vincent and Mount Cuthbert, offering a mix of shady forest pockets and exposed granite slopes. The climbs can be steep and the ground uneven, so sturdy boots are a must. While the ascents might get the heart rate up, the path is generally well-defined. Be mindful that the rock surfaces can become slippery after rainfall. The track leads to the Monadnocks Campsite, a perfect spot for a break.

At about 6km in length, this one hour workout is a great way to finish the day.
These hikes are intended for fit, regular walkers who are looking for more of a workout in nature as opposed to a gentle evening stroll.

Riverside Gardens, Baigup Wetlands, Maylands Peninsula & Kuljuk Island (13km)
Milne Street, Milne St, Bayswater, AUAn easy and beautiful walk by the river for a Thursday morning!
A brisk start to the day sees us heading to the Baigup Wetlands through to the Maylands Peninsula across the river to Kuljak Island before returning back to the start.
Finish off with my favourite café on the river, The Oarhouse is awesome!
Just about 2.5 hours of walking plus coffee afterwards.
Difficulty: There are no mountains to climb on this walk along the Swan River. Expect a spirited walking pace of about 5.5 - 6km/h. The tracks are level and paved most of the way with a few compacted dirt paths. The distance and pace will suit regular walkers.
Where?: MeetUp exactly at the pin drop by clicking on the map.
Parking: There is plenty of parking near the meeting point.
What to bring: Water, good walking shoes, hat & sunscreen and a chair would be good.
Toilets: At the Oarhouse Café and possibly the Kiln Café.
Cafè: The Oarhouse has a well deserved reputation for its muffins and other gastronomic delights and the coffee is the best in this area. This is a very popular café, we might need to take our own chairs so leave one in your car.
