Coming Event - Bush to Beach Walk
The annual Bush to Beach walk within the western suburbs is on again and scheduled for Sunday the 19th October. This 11.5km walk (three and a quarter hours) moves away from the coast, and will be passing through Cottesloe, along the Swan River with spectacular views at Peppermint Grove and Mosman Park, to finish at Buckland Hill car park (with a limited number of parking bays). The one-way guided walk will start from Grant Marine Park, Grant Street, Cottesloe, and walkers are required to register from 9am for a 9.30am start. Morning tea will be at Chidley Point, approximately 11.45am. The walk will continue along in a westerly direction through Minim Cove to finish at Buckland Hill car park at approximately 1.15-1.30pm.
Those using public transport may walk from Cottesloe train station (Fremantle line) to Grant Street, the starting point, or join in the walk at the Forrest Street end of the Cottesloe Station at about 10am. On completion of the walk there is a short walk from Buckland Hill up to Victoria Street Station to catch the Fremantle line.
Alternatively those in a car pool may like to leave a car at Leighton Beach car park, opposite the footbridge (an additional 15 minute walk) and the other car at Grant Marine Park, the starting point.
The event is free, the sights are wonderful, and we'd love to see you there! Contact Lesley at 93847983 or Peter at 0416631421 for more information.
Registration will be on the day.
