To commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Walk from Robe, the CCCA (Chinese Community Council of Australia ) will take a team of walkers on a journey from Robe to Ballarat and then finish at the Parliament of Victoria. The walk will take place over 20 days in May 2017, along a route of over 500 kilometres finishing at Parliament House, Melbourne. Walkers will go through townships of historical significance, see many heritage sites, meet decedents of Chinese goldminers.
