The Canberra Family Bushwalkers Incorporated (FBI) began as the YMCA Family Bushwalking Club in 1969 when parents of children attending YMCA camps decided the walks the children were enjoy should also involve parents.
The club organised regular meetings at first monthly, then quarterly, as well as pack walks, car camps, day walks and other social events. Walkers were encouraged to learn first aid and bushcraft.
The club formally separated from the YMCA in 1977 and incorporated as the Family Bushwalkers Incorporated that year and expanded its program to include moonlight walks, cycling and walking trips and navigation courses.
In 2009, the club is the largest bushwalking club in Canberra. http://www.familybushwalkers.org.au/
