Established in May 1997 at Grassy Head Beach by Heather Johnson, Ruby Lenane and Gwen Harradine, the Walkers Group enjoys monthly morning teas together at their favourite haunts.

Regular walks are organised by Noel Harradine, Gwen’s son, and are scheduled weekly for Thursday and Sunday mornings.

Launching from a range of designated starting points at 8am, the walks frequently conclude with celebrations for members’ birthdays, and often coincide with the ‘Funkya@Unkya’ markets at Eungai Creek.

“We walk for our physical health but also our mental health,” said walking participant Lyn.

“Socialising is a big part of why we walk, and we love to catch up with each other, check how everyone is going and have a good old chat as we walk.

“The group varies from week to week depending on what commitments everyone has, or who is here or away travelling.”

The walks are varied and commence in various accessible locations, including beaches, bush tracks and village walks, with new destinations scheduled for the coming months.

“Everyone is welcome,” organiser Noel Harradine said.

“Our program of scheduled dates and locations to meetup can be found on the Yarrahapinni Walkers Facebook page.”
