B'nai B'rith Ramblers is the largest Jewish bush walking group in Victoria and affiliated with BushwalkingVic. Our objective is to provide on average two monthly day walks (within 1 to 1½ hours' drive from Melbourne) to members, friends and visitors who enjoy the environment and the physical exercise.
Walks offered
* Medium/Hard day walks, generally 13 - 20 km in length requiring walkers to be fit and able to ascend and descend moderate to steep inclines for prolonged periods, do moderate rock scrambling and to take what comes, especially if the walk has not been pre-walked. Walks may take place in inclement weather requiring appropriate equipment.
* Medium/Easy day walks, generally 8 - 12 km in length of up to 3 to 4 hours with moderate ups & downs that require some physical effort but demand a lower fitness level than the above. Walks may take place in inclement weather requiring appropriate equipment.
* Walks specifically tailored for the Under 50 age group.
In addition to the above, weekend or longer type trips intra & interstate are offered. An annual program provides dates of forthcoming walks and a regular emailed flyer provides details for all forthcoming walks.

Our walk on 13 May was guided by an excellent volunteer from the Williamstown Historical Society (WHS) who certainly could describe in detail everything historical above & below ground. The conditions of the walk were abysmal due to, on occasions, quite heavy rain & wind squalls.
However, although we had many cancellations, we still managed to have a group of 20 who enjoyed the walk; it was something different from our normal. |
 |
We asked for a donation from each participant to enable us to invite the Guide to lunch & send a donation to the Historical Society who did some research and came up with some additional Jewish connections to Williamstown. |
 |
With our donation we sent a thank you to the Williamstown historical society for providing the guide Brian Haynes who was co-operative, interesting, informative and an excellent guide |
