5 Lands Walk returns this weekend

Participants at last year's 5 Lands Walk

Participants in this year’s 5 Lands Walk, on Saturday, June 22, are likely to spot some whales along the route, with an abundance of the animals heading north to the warmer feeding and birthing grounds off the Queensland coast.

The annual walk, from MacMasters Beach to Terrigal, attracts more than 20,000 walkers each year.

“With such a diverse and vibrant program, this year’s 5 Lands Walk weekend is shaping up as one of the most spectacular in its 19-year history,” 5 Lands Walk President Pauline Wright said.

“Everyone is welcome to participate and enjoy something very special; I look forward to seeing you on June 22.”

With free Busways transport linking MacMasters Beach with Copacabana, Avoca Beach, North Avoca and Terrigal, the 5 Lands Walk is a great way for all ages to enjoy spectacular views, indigenous insights and an amazing arts and entertainment program along the 10km coastal route.

There is no doubt that a good walk offers wonderful benefits, whether as exercise, to explore or to commune with nature, family and friends.

Inspired by its namesake, Italy’s fabled Cinque Terra, the 5 Lands Walk is now in its 19th year.

“I invite you to come along, hear the stories of our local indigenous and multicultural communities, be inspired, entertained and enlightened by our talented artists and musicians, and captivated by our stunning natural beauty,” Wright said.

“Like so many thousands from previous years, you’ll be thrilled you took part, and we encourage you to bring your family, friends and community to share the experience.

“This amazing community festival is free, as is the public transport provided by Busways.

“The Central Coast recently received a highly coveted global environmental tourism award.

“This year’s 5 Lands Walk celebrates and showcases that recognition, connecting people to people and people to place.”
