During a 4.6km walk, we will travel up the 4.6 billion years of the Earth’s history, at the rate of 1 million years per meter. We will journey through the Earth’s rich and complex history, stopping off at key moments to learn about the evolution of the planet and life on Earth through stories, conversation and reflection.
This Deep Time Walk is a round trip, beginning and ending at the same location in Port Melbourne.
Starting at the formation of the solar system and the creation of the planet, we will cover some of the significant events which have led to life as we know it today: the formation of the Moon, the oceans, the atmosphere, the appearance of life, mass extinctions, and the arrival of our own species, humans.
A Deep Time Walk is storytelling through walking, it is a learning journey through our body, mind and soul, and a beautiful way to tell the story of life. Part history lesson, part mindfulness session this walk is all about stepping out of our lives and seeing the biggest picture.
