Within Australia, participation in the following activities may earn you credit as part of the IVV award program:

  • Annual Aussie Peace Walk (previously Canberra Walking Festival, renamed in 2021) – an internationally recognised, non-competitive walking event, with participants of all ages from around Australia and the World. The next event will be held on the weekend of 29-30 March 2025. The IVV and IML stamp is included in your entry for the event.
  • A pre-event IVV President’s Walk is also offered on Friday 28 March 2025, starting from Albert Hall at 12:30pm. Please arrive by 12:15pm.
  • Walking For Pleasure walks – group walks are held on every day of the week in the ACT, except Mondays. There is no charge for IVV stamp for Walking For Pleasure members. Visitors are welcome but will be required to pay the standard IVV fee to obtain the stamp.

All of the Permanent Trails listed on this website are run on a “all care but no responsibility” basis, with the walker agreeing that he/she participates voluntarily and at his/her own risk.

AussieWalk Inc and it's office bearers and walk leaders accept no liability from any accident, injury, damage or loss suffered by any person while engaged in walking activities offered through this website.

If you choose to download any files and undertake any of the walks listed on this website, you acknowledge that you are doing so voluntarily and at your own risk, including on behalf of any other parties that accompany you.

About Routes: The routes have been chosen to provide an interesting walk opportunity. In many cases the routes are based on existing walking trails. Where possible, road crossings are at designated pedestrian crossing or traffic lights. At times parts of routes will be closed for maintenance and other reasons. Detours may or may not be offered. Walkers are advised to exercise caution and commonsense when participating in any walking activity. Motor vehicles, cyclists, other pedestrians, wildlife, weather conditions and uneven surfaces may all present risks to walkers, and care needs to be exercised at all times.

About GPX Files: The data is derived from a hand-held GPS unit and is therefore NOT accurate enough for navigation, but will provide assistance to walkers to choose the correct path.

The trails may include terrain which may be unsuitable or dangerous for certain persons. Before undertaking any walk, you are responsible for first satisfying yourself as to the suitability of the walk.
