The Bushies

(Originally the Wingecaribee Bush Runners - founded in April 2003 - and subsequently the Wingecaribee Bush Runners and Walkers)

The Wingecaribee Bushies are a collection of (young and) old folk who enjoy running, walking or cycling in the beautiful outdoors of the Southern Highlands Bush. Run sites are selected quarterly and published in advance, and are mostly on dirt roads, fire trails and bush tracks in many parts of the Wingecaribee Shire. Every weekend, we go to a different place. Our runs/walks average 90-120 minutes in time, and the distance varies according to the speed and fitness of individuals. We meet at 7.20am on Sunday mornings in Summer, and 7:50am in Winter (exact changeover dates are detailed on the Programme). When all runners/walkers are safely home, we generally meet for coffee and refreshments at a nearby cafe. For more details, call Max on 4883 4434.

“The Bushies are an informal group in the Wingecarribee Shire that meets for runs, walks and bike rides, in attractive locations, using common start and end-points. Participants acknowledge that the activities are not guided or supervised, that they choose their own routes, and that they are responsible for their own safety.”
