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. 😁

A return to one of our favourite moderate tracks, a nice walk around King's Park. The forecast for the last days of autumn is for mild temperatures and blue skies. Can we ask for better?
We begin by meeting outside Koorak Café on the northern side of King's Park. We begin this 9km loop by heading clockwise down Jacob's Ladder and up the Kakoda Track 😧. We follow the Cliff Walk, sky walk and Law Walk along the escarpment overlooking the Swan River. We then head along the western boundary before returning to the café. 😊
Let's relax over a refreshing sparking water, coffee and chat afterwards for those who can stay.
Where
Koorak Café, Kulunga Grove. (Click on map for the exact meeting point)
Parking
Plenty of free parking at the car park.
Distance
Approx a 9km loop with 202m elevation.
Difficulty
Mainly bitumen paths with only the Kokoda Track to increase the heart rate. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5 to 6 km/h). Not a difficult task for my regular Thursday people. We should complete this walk in under 2 hours.
What to bring
Water, good walking shoes, hat & sunscreen.
Café after the walk
We will share a chat, coffee and bite to eat at The Koorak Café after the walk.
Toilets
Near the café and several places along the walk.
