WHAT'S ON
The Friends of Belair National Park (Friends) hold many activities in Belair National Park (the Park) including bushcare, bush buddies, nature walks, and monthly meetings.
Entry to the Park is free when participating in a Friends activity. Ask at the ticket office for free entry.
Bushcare
Join us for group bushcare sessions, monthly morning teas, or for volunteers who can’t make it to the regular bush care sessions or want to take on more you can ‘adopt’ a block in the Park.
Bush Buddies
Commemorative walk
In Spring each year there is a walk to celebrate the life and work of Professor Sir John Cleland. During his time as the Park Commissioner he undertook to inspect the boundary of the Park annually. This is a task that we emulate in part. Our walk is usually themed to enable particular aspects of the Park to be highlighted and enjoyed.

Walks will recommence in 2026 at the start of the walking season
These nature walks are free and the public is invited. They are held between April and November.
If there is heavy rain or strong winds or a severe weather forecast the walk will be cancelled.
These walks are a popular way of seeing different parts of Belair National Park and learning about our local ecology and history.
How far? Walks are about two hours in duration, at a gentle pace with time to stop and take plenty of pictures, generally on made trails but might involve some off-track walking.
What to wear? Please wear covered shoes and long pants, and dress for the weather. BYO drinks and snacks.
Where do they start? Meet at the Green Shed, near Main Oval.
Where do I park? We usually drive from here to start the walk, so park in the Main Oval carpark (follow the signs from the entry office). Tell the gate staff you’re here for the Friends of Belair walk and they’ll let you through.
What time? Meet at 1:45 pm, for a 2 pm (sharp) start.
Monthly meetings with a guest speaker
Meetings are held each month, except January on the first Saturday of the month at the Volunteer Centre, Long Gully.
Meetings start at 1:00 pm usually with a guest speaker, followed by afternoon tea and then the official meeting.
The public is welcome to attend.
