Here’s one walker’s reflection on her experience of the Mary MacKillop Walk:

… My daughter and I enjoyed it very much and the beautiful weather was an added blessing.  Really nice to see some of the lovely places that commemorate Mary MacKillop.  We had a very knowledgeable guide who was thoughtful and considerate too … We also liked the little booklet which is a very attractive souvenir … we both thought the size is ideal.  It can be read easily and slipped into a pocket or bag with little effort. It is perfect so we hope you do not change it … It was a very pleasant morning and we will recommend the walk to others.

Mary MacKillop’s Adelaide
