**Introduction to WMA** We'll continue hosting a series of introductory walks aimed at WMA members who are returning to walking, building up distance/fitness, on a recovery plan following injury and/or want to walk and learn more about the WMA team and hosts. It's probably an ideal opportunity to see if the group is for you before launching into our 10k+ City Park walks and/or Bush walks as we near the Perth hiking season. Walks will start from the Partisan Cafe in Claisebrook Cove, East Perth. We'll take in the Cove, Matagarup Bridge, the outside of Optus Stadium, Windan Bridge, Heiresson Island/Boorloo Bridge before returning to the Partisan for an optional coffee and catch-up. **Meet: Partisan Cafe, Claisbrook Cove, EAST PERTH** (Click on map for the **exact** meeting point) **Parking:** There is plenty of free parking on Wittenoom St and paid parking on Royal Street **Distance:** 7 km. However, there is the ability to do a shorter walk. **Difficulty:** Flat terrain & mainly bitumen paths. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5km/h) We should complete the walk in under 90 mins. **What to bring:** Water, yourself and a good sense of humour **Toilets:** At the Partisan or Toast cafe afterwards and along the way. **About the Walk** [Matagarup Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matagarup_Bridge) Optus Stadium [Windan Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windan_Bridge) Causeway bridge Heiresson island **RSVP - no shows & late arrivals:** If you are on the "Going" list and can't make it on the day please RSVP "Not Going" at the earliest convenience as a courtesy so to allow others to join who might be on the "Waitlist". *We aim to set-off for each walk at the advertised time and as a general rule, we set off on-time for each walk.* **IMPORTANT** By confirming your attendance attendees agree to "WAIVE, DISCHARGE CLAIMS, AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY" the organisers, co-organisers, event organisers, volunteers and members of the *Walking Mates Australia Meetup Group* from any and all liability on account of, or in any way resulting from Injuries and Damages, even if caused by negligence, in any way connected with Walking Mates Australia.
