Welcome to the Pandani website

The Pandani Bushwalking Club organises walks and activities in the Hobart and southern Tasmania region and further afield on weekends and weekdays all year round.

The emphasis is on bushwalking but there are also kayaking, cycling, mountain biking, and photographic events held at various times of the year, as well as monthly social meetings. Many club members are keen bush photographers and an annual photographic competition/exhibition is held in September.

A modified version of the latest activity program is available here. For privacy and security reasons, the names and telephone numbers of most leaders have been removed. To become a member, you can either simply join the Club, or go on two walks as a visitor.

The Club holds monthly meetings on the first Thursday of every month (except January). These provide an opportunity to meet with other Club members, chat about recent and forthcoming Club trips, share photos, and hear about the latest in gear. There are short sessions on bushwalking skills and other related topics such as mountain biking, kayaking and bush photography, as well as presentations from guest speakers.

There is also a range of other social events such as barbeques, picnics, movie nights and visits to restaurants arranged from time to time by Club members. In addition, the Club has a Facebook page, an open page welcome to browsers.

News and Events.

The Club would like to thank David Briese of the Canberra Bushwalking Club for his generosity in allowing the Pandani Bushwalking Club to duplicate the structure of his design for the website of the Canberra Bushwalking Club. There are links to two of David’s websites on the Club’s links page: Photo diary of a Nomad and Gang Gang Photo Gallery.

We would also like to heartily thank our website designer, Jeffery Bioteau, for his help and patience.

The Committee of the Pandani Bushwalking Club would like to thank the outgoing secretary, Pam Scott, for her many efforts over the years in aid of the Club, on the Committee, as President and Secretary, and would like to welcome our new secretary, Greg Robertson.
The photo at the top of this page is of the Richea pandanifolia plant, after which our club is named. Endemic to Tasmania, it is the largest heath plant in the world and is found in both rain forests and sub alpine communities. It can reach several meters in height.
