About The Event

The Broken to Brilliant Walk on the 3rd  Saturday of the month, we meet at Silky Oak Espresso coffee shop at Ainsdale St West Chermside at 7 am. We walk along to Downfall Creek walking trails and up to  Milne Hill, which has some steps or there is a flat hill walk and then back for a cuppa at 8 am.  The Milne Hill part of this walk is NOT suitable for prams.

This walk combines outdoor walking, with a focus on being grateful for the small things in our lives as well as creating social connections. It promotes respectful relationships and says No to Domestic Violence. This walk offers victims, survivors, family and friends, and community members a group to connect with and to join in an inexpensive form of physical activity in a safe and supportive environment. A range of people attend the walks, which creates a great support network.

Benefits of walking

Outdoor walking groups have wide-ranging health benefits including reducing blood pressure, body fat, total cholesterol & the risk of depression. Being grateful & practising gratitude helps to increase happiness & reduce depression. Walking with a group also reduces social isolation & increases feelings of connectedness.
