 The W.E.A. Ramblers are one of the clubs under the umbrella
of the W.E.A. Clubs Inc. The Ramblers club has been going
since 1925. The aims and ideals of the W.E.A. Ramblers
Club are to bring together people who are keen walkers and
lovers of nature, with special interest in its conservation.
Club activities will provide opportunities for relaxation and
comradeship. Hiking areas are mainly in the conservation
parks within a radius of 30km of Adelaide, but a few more
distant places are occasionaly visited.
To qualify for membership, you must be over 16 years of age,
be of reasonable fitness, and complete three walks. (A sort of try
before you buy option)
Centrally meeting at Light Square, departing between 9.00 & 9.30, sometimes earlier,
returning about 5.30 p.m. Walking distance is usually around 10 - 16 km, in about 4-5
hours of actual walking time, while the occasional walk of 20 km can occur. Summer
hikes are generally easy and relaxed to suite the weather, while in winter on some
hikes a chartered coach is hired.
Hikes are held on Sundays, fortnightly throughout the year. In addition, a few summer
night hikes and weekend hostel or camping trips are arranged. Programmes and
information sheets are available on request.Our club is responsible for maintaining
Section 8 of the Heysen Trail between Picadilly and Norton Summit. About twice a
year we organise a work bee to clear overgrowth, maintain signage, and reroute
sections of the trail when needed.
