Coast and Mountain Walkers Bushwalking Club

Continuing the tradition of overnight walks to extraordinary places ...

Important Information:

NSW COVID Update: From Oct 11 the Committee has decided to reopen the Walks Program within the Greater Sydney Area. Note: By Government regulation, all people participating in outdoor activities like bushwalking must be fully vaccinated and group size is limited to 20 people. On the best available evidence, Greater Sydney is bounded by these LGAs: Central Coast Council ; Hawkesbury Council ; Blue Mountains City Council ; Wollondilly Shire ; Shellharbour City Council.

These LGAs are part of Greater Sydney for COVID purposes – and are now potential walking areas. Those of our members resident outside Greater Sydney are urged to monitor the rules and restrictions in force for their own region. At this stage, trips outside Greater Sydney will not be allowed by Government regulation until the State considers it safe for Regional NSW communities (with their generally lower vaccination rates).

NSW COVID Update

COVID-19 Let’s protect each other. Let’s do this. By getting vaccinated, you're helping to stop the spread of infection – protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your community.

Please consult the latest NSW Government news and updates about COVID-19 on a regular basis to ensure you're aware of the current health situation. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, even mild symptoms, you should stay home and get tested.
