Outdoors October is about getting more West Australians active and outdoors.
Over the past 5 years we’ve supported thousands of West Australian’s to be active outdoors. For 2019 we are taking a hiatus and looking at new ways to encourage more people outdoors in the coming months.
If you are looking for ideas on what is happening in the outdoors community head over to the Outdoors WA website at www.outdoorswa.org.au
We all know the amazing benefits to our health and well-being that getting into nature brings. Outdoors WA, supported by the WA Department of Sport and Recreation is leading the collaboration of outdoor leaders, clubs, organisations, schools and companies that make up the outdoor sector to bring an exciting calendar of events to the community. Make sure your outdoor club or organisation is involved.
Start planning your Outdoors October adventure.
