On your Introductory Bushwalk, please bring the following
items:
- A minimum of 2 litres of water,
in an unbreakable container, is essential for both summer and winter walks.
Should you turn up for a walk with less than two litres, you will not
be permitted to attend, as you may put both yourself and others at risk.
(In hot weather, you may require more than two litres depending on your
own personal requirements).
- Strong, comfortable footwear (see
also Dieback).
- A small first
aid kit for your own use.
- Adequate protection from the weather
- hat, sunscreen, rain-gear (according to season). By putting yourself
at risk - e.g. of heat exhaustion or hypothermia - you may also put the
group at risk.
- Adequate protection from the bush
through which you will be walking. Long trousers, gaiters, long-sleeved
shirt are recommended when walking off tracks. Shorts are best for tracks
and open-country walking, but the choice is yours.
- A whistle for safety - metal or
plastic.
- Food for the day (morning tea,
lunch and afternoon tea).
- A comfortable daypack - worn on
your back - in which to carry your gear.
