Walk for Reconciliation 2026
Thursday 22 October | Koombana Bay | Goomburrup
Reconciliation doesn’t stop at the end of National Reconciliation Week – it’s a year-round commitment.
Following consultation with Elders, Wardandi Aboriginal Corporation, Yaka Dandjoo Events, and Reconciliation WA, the Walk for Reconciliation will once again take place in October allowing us to gather in comfort as the weather warms. This decision reflects our commitment to reconciliation as a year-round journey. We're ALL IN, all year round.
Stay up to date with the Walk for Reconciliation via our event page.
