== History == The club was founded by Marie Byles and Paddy Pallin in 1939.<ref name=":0" /> The club differed from others because it did not organise walks that took more than a day. These walks which did not involve overnight camping meant that recent European immigrants could join in, even though some of them needed to report to the authorities each day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.womenaustralia.info/lawyers/biogs/AWE2745b.htm|title=Byles, Marie Beuzeville - Biographical entry - Australian Women Lawyers as Active Citizens|last=Melbourne|first=The University of|website=www.womenaustralia.info|language=en-gb|access-date=2020-01-19}}</ref>
