Walk Pembroke Pines and Say G'Day Sydney!
Monday October 1, 2007

Alan Waddell, 93, has walked every street in 250 suburbs of Sydney, Australia and along the way he has taken 826 unusual photos that all come with a great caption of his experience...

Walk Pembroke Pines is the introduction of the "Walk Sydney Streets" concept founded by Alan Waddell in Sydney. Alan's concept of walking around Sydney neighborhoods and taking pictures along the way has created a model that focuses on good health, community & civic spirit -  while walking versus driving is great for the environment.

Supporting the first ever Walk Pembroke Pines is the City of Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank Ortis.

"As Mayor of the City of Pembroke Pines it is a pleasure to extend a most cordial welcome to the Australian Festival that will be held here in our beautiful city on Sunday, November 4, 2007. It is our pleasure to partner with the Australian Festival and Walk Sydney’s Street to have our own Walk Pembroke Pines, a first here in the United States." states Mayor Ortis.

Join with Alan and Mayor Ortis in this inspiring community concept:

  • Walk To The 2007 Australian Festival...
  • Show your pride in Pembroke Pines...
  • Take some great photos of your experience...
  • Say G'Day To Alan & Sydney, Australia...
  • Walk from home or start within C.B. Smith Park...
  • Meet with other walkers at the Festival and Celebrate...

Registration for Walk Pembroke Pines is now officially open and the first 300 registrations will receive a Pembroke Pines - Sydney Tee shirt as well as a day pass to the 2007 Australian Festival. To register online - please go to our Festival Ticket Office - Click Here.
