}} The Bush Club is an Australian bushwalking club founded in 1939 in Sydney, New South Wales[1] by well-known conservationists and bushwalkers Marie Byles and Paddy Pallin. The Bush Club has hundreds of members located in and around Sydney, and is affiliated with Bushwalking NSW, and through them, with Bushwalking Australia. The club, since inception, has provided a wide range of walks of all difficulties and durations both locally and internationally, as well as regular cycling, kayaking, and canyoning activities. Geographical area of activitySince inception, the club has organised walks in all national park areas around Sydney. These include The Royal National Park, the Blue Mountains, and the many national parks of the Hawkesbury River region. A number of urban and heritage walks are regularly scheduled in the inner parts of Sydney, as well as walks interstate and overseas. MembershipMembership is open to anyone over 18. Prospective members need to complete at least three qualifying walks from the Walks Programme. Leadership and managementThe Club is run by a Committee of volunteers. Activity leaders are all volunteers from within the Club membership, and new members are encouraged to lead walks when they feel confident to do so. First aid training and navigation skills are encouraged for all members. Optional Leadership training is also available. The Bush Club provides an extensive programme of walks to its members. Those members can suggest and volunteer to lead specific walks which are then advertised in a quarterly electronic newsletter and programme. Walks are graded according to Bushwalking Australia guidelines, from easy to hard. As of July 2018 the Club had approximately 700 members, and reported offering over 465 walks in the year ended June 2018.
