The Great Southern Centre for Outdoor Recreation Excellence (GSCORE) has been awarded the title of Western Australia’s Outstanding Outdoor Organisation for 2020 at the recent Western Australian Outdoor Recreation Sector Awards.

“We look forward to another excellent year working with our community partners to encourage more Western Australians to get active outdoors. Bushwalking, mountain biking, paddling and horse riding are amongst a range of activities that improve our mental and physical health. We want to see more Great Southern residents and visitors enjoying our region’s trails and national parks.”
