Heartbeat Goulburn Valley Branch and Tatura Group – 2026 Events
The Fawkner Park Walking Group was launched in August 2025 by the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and Heartbeat Victoria Council, Inc. in collaboration with Heart Foundation Walking.
It was recently decided to meet more often with a set day each month. So starting in June, the group will walk on the second Thursday of every month.
Walks are held in Fawkner Park, which is a beautiful, flat, tree-lined park in Melbourne, and are usually followed with a coffee and a chat. After most walks, the group has been treated to a presentation on a relevant topic by a researcher from The Baker. Recent topics have included “Healthy Eating” and the use of AI in managing heart disease.
The walk is open to anyone who is interested and includes researchers from the Baker as well as board members of Heartbeat Victoria. To register for the walk, please visit the Heart Foundation Walking page for the Fawkner Park Walking Group.
