What We Do
In April 2023 our first sunrise wander begun in Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula, and since then we have wandered together each month building connections and a greater sense of community.
Over 2,500 participants have join in the early morning wanderers and I between social events and community volunteering- in 2026 we connect to build connections one step at a time.
Our Mission
At Sunrise Wanderers, our mission is to create a welcoming community where men from all generations can connect while wandering together in their local community as the sun comes up.
Once a month our wander leaders currently guide leisurely wanders in local communities across Mornington Peninsula helping foster a sense of connection, encouraging open conversations and shared experiences as men of all ages move together as the sun comes up.
The benefits our wanderers have told us they get from taking part
