Story

Akm  historic and heroic journey

31 days - 686 kilometres - a million steps to raise funds for the Australian Opal Centre!

Fun, friendship and fitness in the fabulous outback

 

Hi! I am aiming to raise money for the Australian Opal Centre by participating in The Walk, a 665 kilometre journey on foot between the legendary opal mining towns of White Cliffs and Lightning Ridge in outback NSW in June and July 2012. Although I am only able to commit to doing 96km of The Walk, every step counts!

The Australian Opal Centre is the most exciting project in Australia! To find out more about the Australian Opal Centre, visit its web site at australianopalcentre.com

Thanks for supporting me! By getting behind The Walk, you're celebrating outback history, natural and cultural heritage - and helping to build the Australian Opal Centre, for the benefit of present and future generations.

Lightning Ridge Opal And Fossil Centre Inc

The Australian Opal Centre is an extraordinary national project being developed at Lightning Ridge in outback NSW, to showcase a world class collection of Australian opal, opalised fossils and vibrant opal field heritage. It will foster education, training, scientific research, tourism, industry and community cultural development, and revitalise regional economies across three states of Australia. The Australian Opal Centre is managed by Lightning Ridge Opal and Fossil Centre Inc, a not-for-profit organisation.


 


Isolated and disadvantaged communities have contributed over $850,000 in cash and donated items worth more than $2 million to the Centre’s magnificent national collection, acquired a breathtaking site and commissioned Glenn Murcutt and Wendy Lewin – two of Australia’s greatest architects – to design an energy-efficient building set to become a 21st century architectural icon.


 


This brilliant project is a gift to the world from the people of Australia’s opal fields. Now, they need your help to realise their vision. Give what you can, and we’ll create a priceless treasure for this and future generations.
