The meeting point for the walks is at the intersection of Yarralumla Novar and Loftus Streets in Yarralumla. This convenient location allows easy access for all participants and ensures a smooth start to each walk.
Yarralumla Walking Group is not pram or wheelchair-friendly, so it is essential for participants to be able to walk independently. However, the group welcomes individuals of all ages and fitness levels, providing a supportive environment for everyone.
