Navigating in the Bush 101

Sun 19th Apr 2026

Members Only
Training event Walk

A training activity in the Royal National Park, aimed at anyone wanting to gain/improve navigational skills with map and compass, also touching on the use of e-maps and GPS capabilities on your phone.
A mix of "tutorial" and practical activities.


A walk with a duration ranging from part-day to multi-day. Multi-day walks will require some form of accommodation or camping. Contact walk leader (owner) for full details.

At our club we use a grading system common to many bushwalking clubs in NSW to indicate the expected level of difficulty of a walk. See: https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/what-we-do/walk-grading

Grading information can assist you to decide if the walk is suitable for your level of fitness and experience. However, grading is subjective and must only be taken as a guide, so always ask the walk leader for advice if you are unsure about whether the walk is suitable for you.

The walk leader has full discretion in determining if members or introductory members are accepted for any walk.

See the SCBW website , "What to bring" page under "Member Information" for guidelines on what you'll need to bring. https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/member-information/what-to-bring

The Club’s ethos seeks to undertake more challenging and remote walking with a preference for Grade 4-6 walks but we also include some "Recreational Walks" (RW) which cover Grades 1-3.
