Local reconciliation group, ANTaR, is organising the walk which commemorates the Sydney Bridge Walk held in 2000 when 300,000 people walked across the Harbour Bridge and “Sorry” was written across the sky.
It will start at midday on Sunday, May 27 at the picnic area near the Armidale Information Centre on the corner of Dumaresq and Marsh Streets.

The Bridge Walk is held during National Reconciliation Week and the whole community is invited to come along to enjoy this friendly, fun, free event.
They walk across Stephen’s Bridge, do a circuit of the park and then gather to listen to short speeches and music and watch Aboriginal dancers.
The Armidale Bridge walk started in 2010 with a small gathering of about 20 people and has been held every year since, with just one cancellation due to heavy rain. It has become a popular outing for the community.
