Australian
Camino - an
online documentary
In 2008 a first time pilgrim
and student journalist from Sydney created an
online documentary focussing on the Christus Rex
pilgrimage.
Australian Camino - a documentary (2008) by Bridget Spinks is a modern look into an ancient tradition.
In this half-hour
documentary divided into 10 bite-size packages, you'll find out about how the pilgrimage
came about and how much it has changed since the first pilgrims walked in 1991.
Experience each day with Bridget. Meet the pilgrims who
come and discover what motivates people to make it all the way.
Go behind the scenes of Australian Camino - read the
story published in Catholic Western Australian

Australian Camino came Runner Up for Best Online
Journalism in the UTS Journalism Awards 2009.

Registrations for the 2009 pilgrimage open in
