"This trip showed me that I can achieve things that I find challenging, and I feel more confidence in my day-to-day life. I learnt to work hard and finish what I start in order to achieve big things. "
Astrid (Silver Participant 2023) - Namadgi National Park ACT
"I did not know I was capable of hiking 8-10 hours per day and rafting against currents. This journey is one of my biggest achievements in life. It pushed me to my limits and I accomplished it with my fellow group members."
Chloe (Silver Participant 2023) - Snowy River Pack & Paddle VIC
"I met some really nice people and had a great time. I pushed myself to my limits and also helped others. It was also interesting to learn how to purify water and use map grid references."
Lydia (Silver Participant 2023) - Roseville to Ku-ring-gai NSW
"The Bronze Qualifying trip was extremely valuable. I enjoyed the views. The most memorable thing I remember was the waterfall near the campsite and the whale back rock."
Mark (Bronze Participant 2023) - Engadine to Waterfall NSW
"My proudest achievements were getting to the campsite and then reaching the end of the Journey on Day 2. It felt like I achieved something big when I finally reached the destination after hours of hiking."
Nidhila (Bronze Participant 2022) - Hornsby to Ku-ring-gai NSW
"The Journey was such an incredible experience, and I would gladly go on a million more if I could. I learnt so much about the others in my group. Some of the highs of our trip were the beautiful views and the chats over dinner, as well as just being in nature for two days and enjoying the environment."
