WALK FOR TRUTH
Each year, the Grow Hope Walk for Truth retraces the footsteps of William Barak, a ngurungaeta (meaning leader) of the Wurundjeri-willam clan. In campaigning for his people’s self-determination and connection to their land, Barak led a number of historic marches from Coranderrk, an Aboriginal settlement near Healesville, to Parliament House in Melbourne. The 67km walk was undertaken multiple times between 1863 and 1881, each time unifying Indigenous Australians and building understanding among European settlers.
The Walk for Truth seeks to raise much-needed funds in support of Grow Hope’s life-changing programs in Victoria and the Northern Territory. Participants, whether individuals or teams, are challenged to walk 67km during the course of a week while gaining sponsorships. At the centre of the event is the heritage, strength and story that is too often missing from understandings of Australian history in the community.
