Bold Park Tuesday Evening Walk (Internal Trails)
Bold Park, Tuart Car Park, Perry Lakes Drive, City Beach, AUJoin us for a workout along the internal bush trails of the beautiful Bold Park near City Beach. Expect a brisk hike, with an average speed of around 6kph, on undulating bush tracks with a few significant hills thrown in for fun.
At about 6km in length, this one hour workout is a great way to finish the day.
These hikes are intended for fit, regular walkers who are looking for more of a workout in nature as opposed to a gentle evening stroll.
So you don't get lost. Here is the map. đ

Riverside Gdns - Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, Kuljak Is, Baigup Wetlands(13km)
Milne Street, Milne St, Bayswater, AUA very pleasant Thursday morning, the weather will be beautiful with temperatures around 22 to 26°C and sunny during the walk. A possibility of light rain in the early afternoon when you're driving home.
This is a slightly longer variation on our Riverside Gardens walk. A brisk start to the day sees us heading to the Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary into Riverside Gardens making our way across the Tonkin Hwy bridge through Ascot and down to Kuljak Island and then loop around the Baigup Wetlands and back to the start.
Finish off with my favourite café on the river, The Oarhouse is awesome!
Just about 2.5 hours of walking plus coffee afterwards.
Difficulty: Expect a spirited walking pace of about 5.5 - 6km/h. The tracks are level and paved most of the way with a few compacted dirt paths. The distance and pace will suit regular walkers.
Where?: MeetUp exactly at the pin drop by clicking on the map.
Parking: There is plenty of parking near the meeting point.
What to bring: Water, good walking shoes, hat & sun-cream would be good.
Toilets: At the Oarhouse Café and possibly the Kiln Café.
Café: The Oarhouse has a well deserved reputation for its muffins and other gastronomic delights, the coffee is the best in this area an d cold sparkling water. This is a very popular café, we might need to take our own chairs so leave one in your car.
