Where we’re headed in 2025
The first six-months’ trips have been planned, and you can take a look by heading over to the updated Tramp List. New users can also use the list to discover the club’s automated booking system, just by clicking on any destination.
The Bushbasher Archive’s online
From 2008 until mid-2012, we produced The Bushbasher, an A4 colour magazine that replaced black and white club newsletters. Published two or three times a year, it was an often amusing record of our tramping adventures.
The magazine ceased publication in July 2012, overtaken by technology. Our website provided a faster and more cost-effective way of keeping members in touch with club happenings.
But those old printed magazines are still entertaining, so we’ve put them here on the website for all to enjoy. Plus, there’s a copy of our celebratory 50th anniversary edition, which features a selection of highlights since the club was founded in 1974. You can find them under the History tab.
