Australian Pilgrims' Page
A sudden rush of enthusiasm has prompted us to list events in alphabetical order, by city. Delighted at the interest this page is generating, but we're still dependent on you, in Australia, for items: send them in to the Webmaster! |

From Ian and Liz Palmer

Melbourne
There are about 50 people in Melbourne interested in the Camino (as we call it), meeting monthly for food and wine. About 8 of us have walked various routes to Santiago, and the others are tempted.
The date and location change each month but is typically the 3rd Friday in an inner city restaurant.
We are not a formal group in any sense, but a gathering that seems to be growing quickly by word of mouth, stories and pictures of pilgrims personal journeys.
