Walking Mates Australia

Join us for a workout along the internal bush trails of the beautiful Bold Park near City Beach. Expect a brisk hike, with an average speed of around 6kph, on undulating bush tracks with a few significant hills thrown in for fun.

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.

So you don't get lost. Here is the map. 😁

Introduction to WMA

We'll continue hosting a series of introductory walks aimed at WMA members who are returning to walking, building up distance/fitness, on a recovery plan following injury and/or want to walk and learn more about the WMA team and hosts. It's probably an ideal opportunity to see if the group is for you before launching into our 10k+ City Park walks and/or Bush walks as we near the Perth hiking season.

Walks will start from the Partisan Cafe in Claisebrook Cove, East Perth. We'll take in the Cove, Matagarup Bridge, the outside of Optus Stadium, Windan Bridge, Heiresson Island/Boorloo Bridge before returning to the Partisan for an optional coffee and catch-up.

Meet: Partisan Cafe, Claisbrook Cove, EAST PERTH (Click on map for the exact meeting point)

Parking: There is plenty of free parking on Wittenoom St and paid parking on Royal Street

Distance: 7 km. However, there is the ability to do a shorter walk.

Difficulty: Flat terrain & mainly bitumen paths. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5km/h) We should complete the walk in under 90 mins.

What to bring: Water, yourself and a good sense of humour

Toilets: At the Partisan or Toast cafe afterwards and along the way.
