Event Description

Thinking about hitting the trail? Or ready to take your bushwalking to the next level?

Join Geography Victoria and an expert team from Paddy Pallin for an inspiring and practical evening dedicated to all things hiking and bushwalking. With decades of experience outfitting and advising outdoor adventurers, they know what works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to exploring the great outdoors.

Whether you’re planning a gentle half-day wander or a multi-day hiking adventure, you will learn all you need to feel confident and prepared.

Includes:

  • smart trip planning
  • essential gear
  • safety considerations and insider tips
  • practical knowledge you can put into action straight away
  • recommendations for great walks close to home as well as unforgettable trails further afield.

This isn’t just an information session — it’s a chance to ask questions, handle quality gear, hear real-life stories from the trail, share your experiences and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

Whether you are brand new to hiking or a seasoned bushwalker, you’ll come away informed, inspired and eager to lace up your boots.

And …. there will be a few prizes to add to the excitement!

Come along, meet like-minded people, and take the first (or next) step towards your next adventure.

Cost: Just $10 … and that includes a light supper!
