How Australia’s first dementia-friendly trail works

Australia’s first dementia-friendly sensory walking trail has been unveiled at Ballarat.

Anne Tudor, from Bigger Hearts Dementia Alliance Ballarat, told 3AW it was a special moment.

Her partner, Edie Mayhew was diagnosed with early-onset dementia in her 50s.

Anne helped bring the project to life.

“Firstly, the entire plan and every aspect of the trail was co-designed by people with dementia,” she said.

“That, in itself, makes it very different.”
