What's On
Friends Volunteers: Come and join us!
The Friends of the Great South West Walk is an active voluntary group in Victoria’s south west. Regular crews work along the 252km walk, trimming, mowing and repairing the walk, while Landcare groups work on erosion control and revegetation in the most exposed sections. New volunteers welcome.
