The final gathering was at Wangaratta.
Commissioner Graham Ashton walked from Mallacoota Police Station to Wangaratta and Police Association secretary Sergeant Wayne Gatt walked from Mildura to Wangaratta.
Member of Honour Noela Macleod AO kindly donated a beautiful quilt to the walk, which Commissioner Ashton purchased, donating the proceeds to the walk. The quilt will be hung at the new police headquarters in Spencer Street, Melbourne. Over $600,000 was raised from this inspirational walk.
