*The FRIENDS OF THE GREAT SOUTH WEST WALK is excited to be hosting the 2026 FEDERATION WALKS on OCT 10 -11 2026
The FED WALKS is a Bushwalking Victoria initiative that is open to all Bushwalking Victoria affiliated club members. Walkers from all over the state will converge on Portland to take part in a wonderful weekend of walking. On offer will be 18 walks ranging from 5-20km, through our unique and varied landscape.
The GSWW is often referred to as a Symphony in Four Movements, hinting at our four very distinct environments – forest, river, beach and cliffs & capes. Saturday night will be an evening of dinner, speakers, raffles and LIVE MUSIC.
Watch this space for further information and visit Bushwalking Victoria or our Members page to join a club so you can join us in October. Click Here for more details.
