WALK4BIBLES Perth walkathon was held around the Swan River in the city of Perth.
It was an enjoyable day with excellent walking weather and a total of 184 people walking, coming from all over Perth as families, individuals, youth groups, church groups, friends or walking buddies. They had two tracks along the river, 7km track or 14 km route. By all reports the Perth WALK4BILBLES was a very enjoyable day.
Bible League thanks the many people who were willing to walk or those who help organised the event - congratulations and thanks to Jan Peletier and his team of volunteers in Perth for their contribution towards a successful day.

On Saturday 6th May 2006, WALK4BIBLES Sydney was held for the second time. The event was held again along the scenic walkways of Sydney Olympic Park.
We praise God that he blessed the day again with sunny weather. People from all over Sydney came as families, individuals, youth groups, church groups, friends or walking buddies. This year we had two walking opportunities along the Parramatta river: the 7km track or the 14 km route for the very enthusiastic and the fit. There was also free coffee/tea and cake offered for participants to enjoy around tables on the lawn. We did have a wonderful day.
Bible League thanks the many people who were willing to walk or sponsor someone to provide Bibles for Africa. Each of you has shown a spirit of generosity. We appreciate the help from our sponsors and volunteers for their contribution towards a successful day.

On Saturday 20th May 2006, WALK4BIBLES Hobart was held along the beautiful shores of the Derwent River.
Although the cold weather and the rain held off for an enjoyable walk for 67 participants, they came with such enthusiasm— young and not so young, even babies in prams and the family puppies came along for the day. The start and finish line was at the Christian Reformed Church of Hobart, where walkers could enjoy a fresh cup of coffee or tea when they returned and shared their walk experience out of the cold. Thank you to the CRC of Hobart for the use of the premises and those who helped out on the registration desk and serving. We look forward to WALK4BIBLES in Hobart next year. Hopefully with warmer weather.

On Saturday 27th May 2006, WALK4BIBLES Brisbane walkers enjoyed the walk along the River and over the bridges in Brisbane. After many months of planning we organised the first WALK4BIBLES event in Brisbane at South Bank. Much thought was put into the location of the walk and who would be the local people to organise it. When the time arrived—we had a perfect day. The sun was shining, the temperature was fine and the people were ready. All up we had 271 people came to walk. Everyone enjoyed themselves—from the walkers to the volunteers and those who registered the walkers. It was a great and successful day. Several people reported that they had obtained good sponsors. Enthusiasm for next year’s event is high and ambitious.
