One hundred people from the two cities people achieved a total of 357400 steps* in a celebration of walking and recognition of  the Heart Foundation Walking

Groups and the dedicated volunteer walk organisers on Friday 19 October.   Two walks appealed to to different tastes and abilities and everyone enjoyed a delicious morning tea with the two Mayors and Aboriginal Elder Noel Morrison in a marquee next to South Beach Cafe. Heart Foundation Walkers were rewarded for their commitment to health with $10 vouchers from Scarvaci’s IGA in Hamilton Hill.  Heart Foundation Walking is Australia’s largest network of free community-based walking groups coordinated locally by the City of Cockburn’s Healthy Communities Coordinator. If you are interested in training as a walk organiser please call 94113503. See more photos of the Trek on our Walking Page
