Join Befriend Host Tanya on a casual Roll & Stroll starting from The Dome @ Darius Wells on Robbos Lane in Kwinana Town Centre @ 9am every Wednesday morning, for an easy 20-30 minute circuit whilst taking in some fresh air.

Due to the weather heating up we will still meet at the Dome but we may take a stroll in the air conditioned comfort of the shopping centre. We will decide on the morning when we start our meander...

We have test driven this route with our feet pounding the pavement and also with some of our members wheels in motion & are confident it will suit everyone no matter their level of fitness or mobility with resting spots along the way for those that need a break.

Afterwards you are welcome to join us for a cuppa (at your own expense) @ The Dome Cafe for some casual conversation.

Tanya will be waiting outside The Dome's front entrance.

We look forward to seeing you there.
