Walking in WA

According to the Premiers Physical Activity Taskforce, approximately 40% of adult Western Australians are not active enough for good health.  Walking is an easy, low cost method of increasing your health and physical activity levels, and it also provides a huge range of benefits for your community, the environment, and the transport system.

There are many ways for you to get active and start walking today:
