Event rescheduled to June following weather disruptions
BUNBURY — The Bunbury Memory Walk & Jog, scheduled for March 28 at Back Beach, has been postponed due to Tropical Cyclone Narelle, according to Dementia Australia. The event will now take place on June 20.
The Perth Memory Walk & Jog, planned for March 29 at Burswood Park, is also rescheduled to June 21. Dementia Australia emphasised participant safety as the primary reason for the delay, citing expected heavy rain and strong winds.
