Anyone who is a walker has most likely heard of the Camino de Santiago, or the Way of Saint James. It may even be on your bucket list. There are many Caminos criss-crossing Europe, including the Via Francigena which stretches 2200km from Canterbury all the way to Rome.
There’s even an ‘Aussie Camino’. In fact, a (mostly) South Aussie Camino. It traverses 250km from Portland (over the border in Victoria) to Penola. Which is why I was setting out from Portland on that windy day. Why here? Australia’s first, and so far only, Saint, is also (mostly) South Aussie. Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne, but she is known best for her activities in SA. It was at Penola that she established the first of her schools and founded her religious order, the Sisters of Saint Joseph. They came to be known as ‘brown Joeys’ because of their brown habits. The walking route travels through places that she worked and is inspired by her life.
