The Great North Walk (GNW) is a 250km walk between Sydney and Newcastle that was opened in 1988. A 65km Great West Walk from Parramatta to Penrith was opened in 2019 and is a similar multi-agency and volunteer project passing through historic urban areas, parks and bushland remnants. The Great South Coast Walk is a plan for a 660km walk from Bundeena to Mallacoota.

If you draw a circle around Sydney, half of it is native bushland. This is extraordinary, and a big surprise to many Sydneysiders. This proximity to such large areas of native bushland is true for many cities and large towns across NSW, making this state unique in Australia and internationally. There are many benefits and issues that come from having so many protracted areas in our backyards.

We can all agree that 2020 has just been, um, memorable, crazy, unprecedented, horrific, community building, community devastating and so much more.

The Activities Leaders’ Forum, held on Saturday, 29 Feb 2020 in Sutherland, was well attended attracting 22 members from five branches.
After a summer of fire, floods and storms we are now dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The NPA is working to help protect and support our members through this time. Below you will find current guidance and new rules managing the NPA bushwalking program. These are dynamic and will be updated as the pandemic progresses and as government advice changes.
The leader forum will be held at Club on East, East Parade, Sutherland, from 9.00 am – 12.30 pm on Saturday, 29 February 2020.
