Evening of Tues 14th August – NEXT BUMP MEETING 5.30pm Cons Council of WA, Lotteries House City West. We are having our meeting before hand (5.30-6.30) and then a workshop by EmpowerWA regarding fostering community engagement. Definitely a good thing to come along to!!
Morning of Friday 17th August – Press conference at Lotteries House (this is just a chance for media to do interviews and touch base and get linked in before we head off to start the walk, we have speakers sorted already from the Walkatjurra Walkabout affiliated groups – just keeping you in the loop)
Afternoon of Friday 17th August – Shopping trip for food (including fresh produce) to the Organic Collective in Hilton. Lucy and Laura.

Monday 20th August 9.30am East Perth – Walkatjurra Walkabout heads off to begin the journey!
- Another job – Making up “Welcome” packages for walkers – including Toro Energy Alternative Report, Yellowcake country, Let the Facts Speak, media release, Climate of hope etc. – Nez has volunteered to do this
- Also keep in mind we might need people who are willing to billet interstate walkers for a night on the 19th August. Think we’re sorted at the moment for places to stay for people but keep an eye out for shout outs at the last min!
- Volunteer task that I forgot that would be good to do if anyone’s interested would be to make up a calendar for the walk period, and add events / actions / anniversaries that will be happening while we are on the walk that are linked (linked protestor court cases, environmental decisions, peace anniversaries, Stop Lynas Save Malaysia actions etc etc etc!) There is a bit of a calendar on the FoE website for anti-nukes stuff happening around the country I think, ANAWA might also have a yearly calendar with things like this marked out. Might be good to have an initial crack, then set up as a google calendar where people can add stuff to before we head off on the 20th so we have a base. Solidarity! J
We still need a big cooking pot that can be used on fire – get in touch with Laura (0421 816 846, walk4country@gmail) if you have one we can borrow!
