Today we’re joining Health and Wellbeing Queensland’s Health Prevention Symposium.

We’re delighted to hear Simon Kuestenmacher highlight the need for walkable communities and recognise better public transport, more connectivity and… the need for more Queensland bus drivers!

Thank you to the Governor of Queensland for being a wonderful ambassador for health and wellbeing, and Minister Tim Nicholls MP for recognising the walking program 10,000 Steps.

Gentleman, this is Democracy Manifest!
Thank you to Robert Allen and Brisbane Living Heritage who cohosted our signature walking tour Democracy Manifest. At all of our walks, we’re delighted to hear personal stories of where we walk.

It was wonderful to have Cr Vicki Howard and the Bragg family to join our walk and meet the people, places and history makers of the Valley. Thanks for joining us!

It was wonderful to celebrate all things walking with the Heart Foundation Walking team and Heart Foundation at the Speakers Green at Queensland Parliament today.

Thank you to co-chairs Kerri-Anne Dooley and Joan Pease MP who recognised the many volunteers who support Queensland walking groups, and acknowledged Queensland Walks Month and our important advocacy to create a walkable Queensland.

Bravo to everyone who attended and our Ministers and State MPs who joined us, and who have been involved in the program after 30 years.

Heart Foundation Walking is still going strong and will continue to play an important role increasing physical activity, improving health and reducing social isolation and loneliness.

It's Queensland Road Safety Week, and one of our favourite StreetSmarts refreshers is a reminder to drivers that 'Giving way to pedestrians' road rules is one of those important rules to keep everyone safe.

Check it out, and follow the link below for more refreshers.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

ALMOST SOLD OUT !!

Everybody knows the quote.

"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"

For nearly 35 years, those words have been part of Australian popular culture.

But how many people know the real story behind the famous arrest? Or where it happened?

Join historian Robert Allen, Queensland Walks and Brisbane Living Heritage, on Democracy Manifest, a fascinating walk through Fortitude Valley exploring the people, places and events behind one of Australia's most recognisable moments.

You'll never look at the Valley in quite the same way again.

Saturday 29 August

Bookings essential.

This morning our Executive Officer Anna spoke to media to highlight QLD Road Safety Week alongside RACQ,
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and Sarah Group. We spoke to media about the 107 people who will die on our roads and roadside as a result of dangerous and distracted driving. We have already lost 19 of our loved ones who were walking and died. Crashes and road trauma are avoidable. Let’s not normalise deaths and injuries. We call for zero harm.
Our call is to drive safely, improve the conditions for walking, and make informed choices about the safety of vehicles.
