Mind The Walk. A Guided Historical Walk for Mental Health 2026

🌿 MIND THE WALK 2026

Together we walk, together we talk — because one conversation could save a life.

Sunday 1 November 2026 | 8am–2pm
📍 Waterfront Village Green, Rockingham
Alongside the Sunday Rotary Markets

Get ready to walk, talk, explore and connect at Mind the Walk — a fun, family-friendly community event bringing people together to raise awareness of mental health and the simple things we can do to support our wellbeing.

This year, we’re making the journey even more interesting with three unique walks to choose from — History, Maritime and Cultural — plus a fun scavenger hunt!

🚶‍♀️ Choose Your Adventure

• We understand a number of people book tickets for events that are free, but don't turn up. If that happens it stops others from attending, with that in mind we ask that if you book and are unable to attend that you let us know ASAP so we can repost those tickets. THANK YOU

💚 More Than Just a Walk

Mind the Walk is about much more than getting your steps in. It's about connecting with ourselves, connecting with others, connecting with our community and connecting with nature.

• 🧘 Yoga and Pilates

• 🏋️ Community Bootcamp

• 🏏 Cricket activities

• 💃 Dancing with Simply Swing

• 🐾 Wildlife and animal experiences

• 🎯 Games and family activities

• 💬 Mental health information and support

• 🤝 Local community organisations and services

• 🌱 Healthy lifestyle and wellbeing activities

It's an opportunity to discover local services, learn something new, meet others and simply enjoy being part of your community.

💬 Why Mind the Walk?

Mental health affects all of us — and sometimes the hardest step is simply starting a conversation.

Mind the Walk aims to reduce stigma, encourage conversations about mental health and connect people with organisations that can provide support when it's needed.

You don't have to walk far.
You don't have to walk fast.
You don't even have to walk at all!

Come along, join in, have a chat and connect in whatever way works for you.

❤️ Together we walk. Together we talk.

Because one conversation could save a life.

Bring your family, invite your friends, grab your walking shoes and come along for a day of history, culture, discovery, wellbeing and community connection.

Take a step for mental health. Take a step for connection. Take a step for each other.

We can't wait to see you there! 💚
