The Bridge Walk is held every year during National Reconciliation Week – a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can join the national reconciliation effort.

Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people walk together across Stephen’s Bridge, do a circuit of the park and then gather to listen to short speeches, enjoy Aboriginal entertainment, which will be followed by BBQ.

At this year's event, the organisers are thrilled to feature local Aboriginal dancer and didgeridoo player Bob Blair, who works at the Armidale Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place. Since his training at NAISDA (the National Aboriginal and Islander Dance College), Mr Blair has been educating and entertaining young and old in many regions.

All welcome: come along and enjoy this friendly, fun, free event. Bring a picnic – tea, coffee, sausages and some vegetarian alternatives will be provided.

Armidale ANTaR recognises wonderful support for our Bridge Walk from The Armidale Regional Council, Homes North Community Housing and Reconciliation New South Wales. For further information click here or contact Diana Eades on 0458 751 178.
