Local day walks – an easy way to join in!

At every town, join the official group for the last few kilometres into each town. Choose how far you wish to walk. Some sections even have a free bus to get you out there thanks to the support of the State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.

There is no need to book a place on the walk, you can just join us at the time and location below. There is no fee to join the walk.

If you would like to take advantage of any bus service associated with the walk, you will need to reserve a seat on the bus. Spots are strictly limited. Follow the link on each walk to reserve your seat on the bus.

Each walk coincides with the community celebration in the town.

Please read the terms and conditions below before deciding to join us.
