Captains Walk

The Cricket Captains' Walk is a collection of specially commissioned bronze busts of Test captains of the Australian men’s national cricket team.. The Walk was planned and executed by the Cootamundra Shire Council (now Cootamundra–Gundagai Regional Council) with the approval of the Australian Cricket Board (now Cricket Australia).

The all-weather path, is wheelchair friendly, and approximately 150 metres around. Stage 1, unveiled on 30 August 1998, comprised the likenesses of Unaarrimin (Johnny Mullagh), Dave Gregory, Bill Murdoch, Arthur Morris, Richie Benaud, Bobby Simpson, Bill Lawry, Ian Chappell, Greg Chappell, Allan Border and Mark Taylor. A life size sculpture of Bradman in action was unveiled during the celebrations for Sir Don’s 92nd Birthday in August 2000.

Stage 2, comprising the remaining 30 captains, was unveiled by the sculptor Tom Bass on 27 August 2008, the centenary of Bradman's birth, barely a kilometre away at 89 Adams Street Cootamundra. Stage 3, unveiled on 12 March 2020, brought the walk up-to-date with three new busts unveiled - Shane Watson, Steve Smith and Tim Paine and a plaque for Michael Clarke. In 2023 the pedestals were relocated to a more formal arrangement with the Bradman statue as a focal point.

The bronze busts are all fixed to marble plinths with a plaque detailing each player’s record.
