    As part of Reconciliation Week, Justice Action Maribyrnong will be hosting the inaugural River Ramble for Reconciliation at 10am on 1 June, 2025. 

    The Ramble is a family and dog friendly community walk along the Maribyrnong River in support of the Reconciliation journey to Treaty and beyond. 

    The walk will commence at Grimes Reserve, Footscray and proceed along the Maribyrnong River to Footscray Rowing Club and return. Participants can walk some or all of the way according to their ability and time available. They can even run if they want to! 

    The event will begin with a Welcome to Country and Yarn with Bunurong, Tyereelore and Trawoolway man, Robert Ogden. A prize draw, for those who register, will be held in Grimes Reserve between 12:30 and 1pm.

    This event is supported by Borderlands Cooperative, Reconciliation Victoria and ANTaR Victoria. All welcome! 

    When: Sunday, 1 June 2025, 10am to 1pm
    Where: Grimes Reserve to Footscray Rowing Club (or part and return).

    It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.
