BLIND Sports and Recreation Victoria (BSRV) is hosting a Sensing Nature Walk along the Bullawah Trail on Thursday, November 21 from 10:30am to 12:30pm which is accessible for adults who are blind or have low vision.

The sensory experience will consist of a slow walk along the trail, taking your time to explore the scents, sounds and textures alongside the river walk - experiencing the natural environment with non-visual senses, followed by lunch at Café PreVue on Faithfull Street.

BSRV assistant program coordinator, Tegan Allen, said people with vision loss, their family, friends, carers and anyone who would like to experience our local natural environment through their non-visual senses is encouraged to come along.

"The sensing nature walk will give participants an opportunity to connect with the local environment through tactile experiences, sound experiences and scent experiences," she said.

"This walk will allow participants to explore the natural world through touch, sound, and smell, fostering a deeper connection with the environment.

"Along the way, there will be plenty of time to talk, share, and connect with other participants who experience living with vision loss.

"After the walk, we’ll gather for a relaxed lunch at Cafe PreVue, where participants can continue their conversations, build new friendships, and find support in a welcoming, inclusive space.

"Whether you’re seeking to connect with others who share similar experiences or just enjoy a peaceful walk in nature, this event is a great opportunity to be part of a caring community."

'Cycling Without Age' will have trishaws available to use on the day for those wishing to experience this nature outing on wheels.

A trishaw is a safe, stylish and practical three wheeled bike designed to carry two adults and piloted by a volunteer.

Please bring a support person if required or if you require volunteer support on the day please let BSRV know in advance.
