About: Sydney Bush Walkers Club

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Sydney Bush Walkers Club is a bushwalking club in Australia. Formed in 1927 by Myles Dunphy at the behest of the Mountain Trails Club, the group was originally called the Waratah Walking Club, but was renamed early on. Unlike its predecessor, the club was open to the general public, and this allowed it to increase its membership substantially; a petition presented in the same year (signed by members of both clubs) contained over 5,000 signatures. Notable members of the club have included Marie Byles, Paddy Pallin, and Dot Butler.
