Overview

5 Lands Walk is a unique event that invites visitors on a 10-kilometre physical, spiritual, and cultural journey along the Central Coast. This free, day-long celebration on Saturday, June 22 is a collaboration between the communities of Darkinjung Country and the wider local community, offering opportunities to connect through walking, experiencing Aboriginal culture, live entertainment, art installations and more.

The event aims to foster connections between people and place and welcomes families, friends, and visitors to celebrate life, creativity, and the region's storied Aboriginal heritage. Timed to coincide with the annual whale migration, a significant token of the Darkinjung people, 5 Lands Walk begins with an opening ceremony the night before.

Participants can journey at their own pace, exploring the stunning coastline and sampling the diverse cultural offerings, including creative sculpture installations, performing artists and marine wildlife talks. And while the full route is 10 kilometres, walkers don't have to complete the entire distance — they can drive between land or take the free shuttle.

5 Lands Walk takes place on Saturday, June 22 on MacMasters Beach, Copacabana, Avoca Beach, North Avoca and Terrigal. For more information, visit the website.
