The 5 Lands Walk
The 5 lands walk is an annual cultural event that began in
2006. It is a cultural, physical and spiritual journey comprising a 9 km walk
through the 5 coastal lands of Macmasters
Beach, Copacabana, Avoca Beach,
North Avoca and Terrigal. It is timed to
correspond with the winter solstice and the annual northern migration of the
whale, which is the totem of the Darkinjung people of the Central Coast.

Along the walk each village hosts cultural activities
reflective of their community with the aim of connecting people to people and
people to place. These activities include the presentation of food, music,
dance, land art, paintings and photography, as well as education in Aboriginal
culture and heritage, whale migration and the surrounding natural environment.
The event is a fusion of artistic, cultural and physical approaches to a sense
of place. All the creative arts of each community contribute to the festival.
The 5 Lands Walk is a combination of five events in one.
People who come to experience the event can do so on one land or all five,
creating their own story.
Theme of the Art Exhibition
The 5 Lands Walk Exhibition Connections is one of those
cultural events and is unique to the festival. It adopts the 5 Lands Walk theme
of "connecting people to people and people to place".
