Veteran’s Wellness & Charity Walks
May 10 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Royal Australian Regiment Association in conjunction with the Hawthorn RSL Sub-Branch wishes to invite veterans and their families to attend Veteran’s Wellness and Charity Walks.
We are aiming to invite ALL VETERANS, young and old, from either service-Army, Airforce, or Navy, to join us to walk with a fellow Vet, as part of our bush therapy exercise, and to reinvigorate the camaraderie we all experienced whilst in service.
We will be conducting 2 varied walks, and each has been specifically graded for all types of bushwalkers, as well as casual walkers who love the great outdoors. Each of the walks will have a staggered start to try and ensure the participants complete the walks between 12.30pm and 1.00pm. The plan then is to share in light refreshments together, at or near the Visitors Centre at Lysterfield Lake. In fact, we would encourage Veterans to invites other family and friends, to also join the walks, or just participate in this picnic and family gathering.
The details are as follows:
When: Saturday 10 May 2025
