The Sydney Bush Walkers was founded in 1927. Among its aims was the formation of an institution of mutual aid for recreational walkers in regard to routes and ways and means of appreciating the great outdoors. It also aimed to encourage a regard for the welfare and preservation of the natural environment. The club held regular meetings and its activities included organised bush walks, annual reunions, publication of 'The Sydney Bushwalker', as well as social functions and concerts.
