Each year we gather at the sunrise of World Suicide Prevention Day on the shores of Town Beach at Port Macquarie to honour those lost to suicide and to bring their memory into the light, removing the stigma around suicide.
Lifeline’s ‘Out of the Shadows’ walks enable those whose lives have been touched by suicide to connect with others and feel comfortable to have a conversation about it.
Thousands of people across Australia join Lifeline’s ‘Out of the Shadows’ walks which coincide with World Suicide Prevention Week.
Lifeline encourages all Australians to join a walk and start talking about suicide. The Port Macquarie walk takes place in September, meeting at Town Beach-Salty Crew Kiosk at 5:30 am and taking a short walk to the new amphitheatre at the other end of Town Beach, Port Macquarie. Together, we watch the sun rise over the water and hold a short memorial service.
Watch this space for our 2026 dates!
