Walking for Refugees

Australia’s inaugural Big Walk 4 Refugees is a virtual walk from Hobart to Canberra to show support for the 10,000 refugees in Australia. Organised by the Bendigo Rural Australians for Refugees (RAR) and supported by the Bendigo groups of Amnesty International and Grandmothers for Refugees, people are invited to join the Walk at Lake Weeroona. Taking place on Palm Sunday, between 12.00 noon to 1.00 pm, people can walk as far as they like with distances recorded and added to the national total.  Those unable to attend on March 24th are encouraged to walk when it suits them and record their distance on the Big Walk 4 Refugees website.
