Looking forward to being part of this day!
Walk & Talk in the Bush for Mental Health
Saturday 2nd May 2026
Get ready to lace up for a great cause on Saturday 2nd May as we come together for the Walk & Talk for Mental Health.
The day begins at 8am at Pine Lodge, Stratford , where participants will take on a scenic 20km bush walk from Stratford to Briagolong. If 20km feels a bit much, no stress — we’ve got drink stations and toilets thanks to Aim Hire every 5km, so you can join in at a pace and distance that suits you.
We’ve also organised a bus service kindly donated by Dysons Bus Service for anyone who needs a lift:
The bus will pick up walkers along the route and from 12pm, it will run hourly from Briagolong Recreation Reserve back to Stratford so you can return to your car with ease
When you reach the finish line at 12pm, the celebrations kick off with:
Live music 3 local artists and the stage donated by Dyers Distribution
Food trucks
Stay Grounded
Come Get Stuffed
Neirbos EATS
Love Grub Acai bowls and Smoothies
Big Bears Donuts
Car Show & Shine
Zerosuicide community awareness program
Wacky Wombat Entertainment to entertain the kids
Bubble Princess & Lollipop Queen
Cheeky Cherubs Face Painting
Plus plenty more to keep the whole family entertained, making it a fantastic community and family day out.
This event is open to anyone on or off Facebook — bring your friends, family, workmates, or walk solo and connect with others along the way.
