Message Stick Walker, Alwyn Doolan, visits Wagga on way to Canberra

A proud Gooreng Gooreng and Wakka Wakka man, Alwyn Doolan is 29 years old and determined to send a message.

"I have walked from Cape York to Wagga so far and via Tasmania," he said.

"I am taking a form of a message stick to present to the Australian Government upon treaty negotiations with First Nations people."

Mr Doolan said the trek has been physically and mentally challenging.

"Going through and having those moments where you are on the road alone and overthinking everything," he said.

"It's the support that I have gained so far and the momentum from the people I am engaging with and talking with that is giving me hope and giving me determination.

"They have given me the strength to carry on."

Mr Doolan said while he didn't get to see as much of Wagga as he would have liked, he enjoyed the time during his stay.

"I met up with Kito's today, they shouted me lunch," he said.

"I came down to the Wiradjuri Walking Track just to get a feel in that spiritual sense around land."

Mr Doolan said he experienced a self-identity crisis and it fuelled his desire to set out on this journey.

"I think a lot of young Aboriginal men and women struggle to identify themselves outside the community from the perceptions, stereotypes and judgement," he said.

"I really wanted to inspire the next generation, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal.

"I want to enact a Healing Motion which includes our fellow Australians ... it's having us as First Nations to be that stronghold voice in the communities and having the front line to paint that picture of how we are going to move on."

So far, he has walked more than 8000 kilometres from the northern tip of eastern Australia through Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania and is currently heading back up to Canberra.

Mr Doolan will arrive on May 18 with a formal Welcome to Country ceremony by Ngunnawal Elders at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, on the lawns of Parliament House.

"I am feeling very overwhelmed just because I know it is nearing close compared to when I first started," he said.

"This journey has been remarkable, let alone just for myself besides the movement.

"I am feeling really excited and really hopeful."

Mr Doolan will wait in Canberra until a new government is sworn in to formally present the Message Sticks to the Prime Minister.
