Safe walking tips:
- Its best not to walk alone take a friend or a family member along with you. Its best to walk in groups of three or more people, if something happens then you might need to wait with the injured person while the other gets help.
- Take plenty of water and food for the walk be prepared for anything that may happen when you are in the bush
