Benefits of Membership
There are many benefits of membership including exploring Gippsland with like-minded people, seeing places you may never hear about otherwise, learning some local history while visiting historic sites and the obvious ones of soaking up the sights, smells and sounds of our wonderful bush while getting some exercise.
A practical benefit is the accident and public liability insurance cover and the availability of discounts at various outdoor equipment suppliers.
