Women Embrace Walking - World Mental Health Day

We're excited to get together and acknowledge the importance of World Mental Health Day. Women Embrace Adventure is a huge advocate of the positive mental health benefits from exercise, nature and friendships so we thought we'd mark this important day by indulging in all three (and some delicious food afterwards). 

About the adventure

A terrific wander on the city fringe of Newcastle, join us to explore our own backyard.  This walk takes us over the Cowper Street Bridge to Carrington and along Throsby Creek up to the mangroves, where we'll stroll on the boardwalk through this classic coastal vegetation. We’ll make our way back along the Maryville foreshore.  Finishing up at Sticky Rice, we’ll share a meal while enjoying the company of like-minded women. We hope you can join us for a great Spring evening!
