ORGANISERS of a walk for the Voice to Parliament are inviting people to join the event to support the Yes vote and learn about the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart.
One of the volunteers, Madeleine Machin, said the walk organised by the Mornington Peninsula Yes 23 campaign would show participants’ “solidarity” and support for the Voice to Parliament.
The walk will be on 17 September starting at Safety Beach foreshore, opposite Prescott Avenue, at 1pm.
Machin said there would be shorter walks at various points, including Dromana (2pm), Anthony’s Nose ( 2.30pm) and McCrae (3pm).
The walk will finish at the Rosebud foreshore near the sound shell, where participants will gather from 3.30pm to 5pm.
The gathering will start with a welcome to country and will include a yarning circle, dancers, music, sausage sizzle, refreshments and Yes displays.
