The Mountain Trails Club of New South Wales was an Australian conservation and bushwalking group.
The club was founded in 1914 by Myles Dunphy, Roy Rudder and Herbert Gallop[1] Membership was by invitation only, and women were not permitted to join; the club espoused "a doctrine [of] manly and wholesome recreation".[1][2] The Mountain Trails Club's work resulted in the formation of other bushwalking groups, such as the Sydney Bush Walkers Club, also founded by Dunphy.[3]
