The Wombats Hiking
Club was formed in 1979, by myself (Paul Ellis) and a couple of friends,
one of whom is Gary Williams, my best mate. The idea was for us all to
get together and to pursue our basic interests, one of which is Bushwalking
(or, as it is called in other countries, Tramping, Rambling, Hiking, Trekking
or Camping). Over the years many friends have come and gone, but the basic
group of bushwalking members still remain. In 1991 I started publishing
a newsletter "The Wombats Backpacking Club Magazine" which was printed
every 2-3 months and was distributed among these members. The content of
this newsletter featured reports of our walks, photographs, poems, cartoons
and other trivial fun. This has now been replaced with a monthly eNewsletter
which is emailed to hiking friends. Our main area for bushwalking is The
Northern Budawang Range, better known as "The Budawangs" and is situated
in southern New South Wales, between the townships of Nowra and Batemans
Bay. We also walk in other local areas too, such as Jervis Bay & Booderee
National Park and The Kangaroo Valley Area. We have also done walks in
the Sydney and Wollongong areas and soon hope to include walks in other
parts of New South Wales and Victoria. Below is a link to photographs of
my walking friends and links to reports and photographs from some of our
walks and hiking trips.
