Why these carers walked 40 kilometres through South Gippsland

Key points

• Eight carers recently took a four-day walk from Fish Creek to Port Welshpool as part of Interchange Gippsland's 10th Carer Camino. The retreat ran from October 20 to 23, with participants averaging about 10 kilometres a day along the Great Southern Rail Trail.
• Organisers handled the practical details, while activities included meditation, meals and wellbeing workshops. Interchange Gippsland CEO Rebecca Massaro said the retreat helps carers maintain their wellbeing and caring relationships.
• The organisation plans to continue offering these carer wellbeing opportunities.
