It is captioned: "Below: Dr Les Koadlow, AFV President, endorses the Bionic Walk. Story, page 4." The article on page 4 promotes the upcoming Great Bionic Walk which was to be held at Albert Park Lake on Sunday, the 14th of November.

A sausage sizzle and entertainment was planned to provide refreshments for participants after the walk.COL photo of a man standing in front of a row of tables set against the wall.
