What is walk a while
The Walk A While Experience
In 2010 Walk a While Foundation was established with the primary objective of walking alongside Indigenous people using creative and visual arts as common ground. We provide youth with equipment and skills to tell their stories and to equip them to engage in meaningful employment opportunities for the future.

WHAT WE DO
Walk a While Foundation’s
Long-term, Life Changing Strategy
Over 20 years ago, a respected Indigenous elder gave Walk a While founder, Ken Duncan, some advice: “If you really want to know someone, you need to "walk a while" with them.”
Since then, Ken Duncan has been working with the Indigenous people of central Australia and helping wherever possible. In 2010 Walk a While Foundation was established with the primary objective of walking alongside Indigenous people using creative and visual arts as common ground. We provide youth with equipment and skills to tell their stories and to equip them to engage in meaningful employment opportunities for the future.

Location
Haasts Bluff
The Ikuntji community at Haasts Bluff is nestled within the spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges, approximately 230 km south-west of Alice Springs. The community has a great Aboriginal Arts Centre and a community shop that will gladly refuel both yourself and your vehicle.
There are two access routes to Ikuntji – either via the Tanami Highway, or on the sealed road directly west of Alice Springs on Namatjira Drive to Glen Helen, then another 110 km of unsealed road continuing west to Ikuntji. This road can be impassable in heavy rain but has an amazing approach directly to Memory Mountain where the Cross is being built.
“If you really want to know someone, you need to “walk a while” with them.”
