The 2015 5 Lands Walk took place on Saturday, June 20, beginning at MacMasters Beach where more than 3,300 walkers participated in the 10th anniversary walk.
The day included entertainment, information, cultural displays, art installations and for the first time, a children’s sand modelling area at Avoca Beach. Also held on the day were presentations on whales and whale watching, with about 15,000 whales passing the beaches in their winter migration.
Mr David Fellows, 5 Lands Walk organiser said: “Though we were concerned for the weather and know that some who had planned to travel to participate decided against it given the heavy rain leading up to the event, over 15,000 locals and visitors enjoyed a wonderful day.”
5 Lands Walk president, Mr Con Ryan said: “We witnessed larger numbers of families participating this year, often three generations enjoying the day together. “The Central Coast can be well pleased that we offer such a special event, free for everyone to enjoy.”
