The Aussie Camino is a ten-day pilgrimage from Portland in Victoria to Penola in South Australia, following in the footsteps of St Mary MacKillop — from the town where she began her teaching, to the place where she co-founded the Sisters of St Joseph with Fr Julian Tenison Woods.

Led by Getaway Trekking and Adventures, the walk follows the Great South West Walk through Lower Glenelg, Cobboboonee, Discovery Bay Coastal Park, Mount Richmond and Cape Nelson, then on along farm tracks, quiet roads and disused railway lines to Penola. A support bus carries luggage and meets the group each day, so pilgrims walk with a day pack only. The route includes a winery lunch in Coonawarra and a full day in Penola, with Mass for those who wish to attend and a tour of the Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre.

10 days / 9 nights
Included: all ground transfers from Melbourne, daily luggage transfers, shared accommodation in B&Bs and country pubs, 9 breakfasts, 8 lunches, 2 dinners, winery tasting and lunch in Coonawarra, guide and bus driver, and a pilgrim kit (passport, guidebook, luggage tag, Camino shell).
Itinerary: Melbourne • Portland • Cape Bridgewater • Mt Richmond • Port MacDonnell • Mount Gambier • Kalangadoo • Penola

Departure: 8–17 February 2027 — from $3,325 per person (twin share); single supplement $750. Group departs the Mary MacKillop Centre, East Melbourne at 10.00am on day one.
