Adam Richards and son Ned Thorn are walking 1194km from Adelaide to Canberra to raise awareness about the plight of asylum seekers in Australia’s offshore detention centres, to close the camps and #bringthemhere.
A convoy of supporters in cars from all over the country who have been accompanying them for stages of the journey will converge in Canberra on Saturday 4th February when the walkers complete the final day of their arduous 1194km walk in baking summer heat.
Adam and Ned will be crossing into the ACT on Friday morning 3/2/17 at around 5am to avoid high sun.
They will walk along the Barton Highway to Lyneham, a distance of 11km.
Breakfast will be in the Gold Rush Creek area where they will be joined by supportive activists in cars from across the country.
Then they walk all the way to Mint Oval to conclude their journey.
