    Australian Camino Salvado 2012

    Well spotted, Alan. Sorry about that. I've corrected the dates for 2012.

    Australian Camino Salvado 2012

    The Camino Salvado, a pilgrimage in the tradition of the Camino de Santiago, is on again this spring. We follow the path of the pioneering Benedictine monk, Rosendo Salvado, who came to the Swan River Colony in the 1840's. He was a refugee from Santiago where anti-clerical forces had closed...

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    I can't resist adding the link to the wonderful blog, Where's Mum Now, which has been entertaining me for months. It turns out the writer is one of our fellow pilgrims. She seems to be working her way through the West Australian edition of the Lonely Planet. I loved her discovery of New...

    Western Australia Camino group meeting

    You''ve certainly started something, Sandra. I've had many responses and have email addresses for those who want to be notified of future meetings. There's such a lot of enthusiasm out there, we should have done this years ago.

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    This year, I was privileged to meet Sister Margaret of the Good Samaritans, a teacher at Notre Dame University. Her main field of research is the Benedictine tradition. She is truly quietly inspiring. Here's the link to her piece on her Camino. http://www.goodsams.org.au/good-oil/a-p ...

    Western Australia Camino group meeting

    Thanks for doing this. It's a great idea, and it sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to it. These chats are one way of overcoming the tyranny of distance when Sandgropers feel a little apart from the rest of the world. I'll email my contacts with the details.

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    Hello fsam33 The desire to explore, experience and absorb a sense of a place is a wonderful thing, but... No one who has done the 7 days of the Camino Salvado would recommend walking it solo. You simply cannot carry enough water. Please do not try, not even at home - you will hurt yourself...

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    We all know that every camino experience is different and depends on many things. The journey is your own. Doug, I know that your care made a huge difference to the people who travelled with you. Your knowledge will continue to help Australian pilgrims. (I'm writing an introductory...

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    In Saturday's West Australian Travel Guide, 3/9/11, Pam Casellas, revisits her journey on the Camino Salvado. The accompanying photos are outstanding, if you can get the paper itself. She walked through the canola fields in full flower. She really does give voice to my inner thoughts: "I...

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    No worries at all, Carole. If you've been wondering, then others must have wondered too. It's a shame Western Australia doesn't have a Camino group, as do the other states, to answer questions and pass on information, but I live in hope. We'll be setting dates for the 2012 walks in the next...

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    The Camino Salvado is as yet still best travelled as an organized walk; unlike Santiago food, water and shelter are not conveniently located. In Salvado's time, he and the Yuat people had to be very, very cautious about travelling beyond their known water sources. Without outside support you'd...

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa ... ew-norcia/ In Thursday's West Australian, 23/06/11, Chris Olney tells of her Camino Salvado experience last year. She may be a serial pilgrim, as she mentions the Camino Santiago. Loved the photo.

    Australian Camino Salvado 2011

    Dom Rosendo Salvado was a pioneer monk from Santiago who left Spain after the dissolution of the monasteries, sailed to the Swan River Colony (WA) and founded the monastery town of New Norcia. His journey was astonishing and his story is inspirational. Compass (ABC1) covered the Camino Salvado...

    Australian Camino Perth to New Norcia

    Hi anniesantiago The Camino Salvado was first completed in 2009 and was seven days/ six nights. We've moved our route closer to the original route of the Yuat people and Dom Salvado as we've been given permission by landholders. And we've also discovered a lost road through Julimar Forest...

    Australian Camino Perth to New Norcia

    Accomodation is varied. In Guildford (Swan Valley) we've booked Swan Leigh with shared rooms. It's brand new (rebuilt after severe storm) on an historic site. In Chittering Valley, we have a gorgeous house on a hill which does convention type groups. Again, shared rooms. In Bindoon, we're...
