Description

Book by Helen Klaebe, published 2005.

Onward Bound: — the first 50 years of Outward Bound Australia traces the founding and development of this unique, non-profit, non-government organization. From its earnest beginnings in a climate of post war cultural change, Outward Bound Australia (OBA) has adapted to remain relevant and currently attracts some 5,000 participants a year to its courses. The scouring of archival and public records combined with personal stories from past and present OBA founders, staff and participants makes this a colourful social history of an organisation that in the past fifty years has touched more than 250,000 Australian lives.
