Tour audio 5 Lands Walk - 2024 Ephemera Exhibition

Step into the shoes of the first collection of people who paved the way of the 5 Lands Walk.

Connecting people to people and people to place.

HISTORY of the walk.

The 5 Lands Walk Event is an annual community based, multicultural, physical
and spiritual event which is held annually close to the winter solstice. The walk
connects the five beachside communities of MacMasters Beach, Copacabana,
Avoca Beach, North Avoca and Terrigal along a 10.5-kilometre walking route.
The 5 Lands Walk Event was developed by the former Gosford City Council and since the
inaugural walk on 24 June 2006, the program continues to grow to become a major
cultural event and attraction on the Central Coast. Commencing at MacMasters
Beach, the walk traverses the coastal landscape, through differing types of views,
vistas and landforms, culminating at the well-known landmark of the Skillion at
Terrigal.

These natural experiences are complemented by a diverse cultural program
during the 5 Lands Walk Event. Different activities are held at each of the 5 Lands,
including Aboriginal ceremonies, cultural performances, whale watching, music,
song, dance, kite flying, art, food and photography. This provides a foundation
for each land to showcase the diverse cultural offerings of the communities of the
area.

The event embraces the many facets of Aboriginal beliefs, customs, culture, art
and spirituality in which participants gain an experience and appreciation of the
Central Coast’s local Aboriginal community. A growing number of schools, surf
clubs, ethnic communities, business and arts communities also contribute to
events on the day of the walk.
