Route map for the MacKillop Woods Way taken in 2016 - 2019
The envisaged MacKillop Woods Way has been planned to traverse the south eastern corner of the Australian continent via locations which have a significant historical and cultural importance to the lives and work of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and the pioneering priest Fr Julian Tenison Woods. The route shown will be a viable way for both walkers and cyclist to make their pilgrimage mostly along minor roads, established rail trails and walking paths without the needs for a purpose built way to be constructed from scratch. The MacKillop Woods Way has now been endorsement by the Congregational Leadership Team at the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart based in North Sydney, as well as some given Catholic Diocese. In its early years of development there has been great enthusiasm from local communities and a willingness to embrace this ambitious pilgrims' way.
