Story
Hi there
Starting on Anzac Day 2022, I plan to kayak 862 km, the length of the mighty Burdekin River in North Queensland. My journey will start near Greenvale and finishing 35 days later at the river mouth between Homehill and Ayr.
This will entail paddling up to 30 km's per day, hurdling 5 weirs as well as the beautiful Burdekin Dam and in the latter stages, negotiating around the occasional, hopefully friendly, saltwater crocodile.
My beautiful wife Peta will lead my backup team and will keep all supporters updated on my progress. I hope to meet as many people as possible along the way and pass on the story of why I am undertaking this challenge.
I am supporting the community of Naduri, located half way along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. .As part of the Back Track Adventures family, I am proud to be a trek guide on the Kokoda Track and to share the story with all Aussies of our brave soldiers, who together with their legendary brave Fuzzy Wuzzy mates, fought and died on that bloody Track in 1942. The lifestyle we enjoy today is a product of their sacrifices.
Keeping the spirit of Kokoda alive, i am supporting Aussie NGO, KTF, to fund the operations of the Aid Post in Naduri Village, home to Back Track's Trek Crew. Your support will help the community have access to essential healthcare services, COVID-19 awareness and supplies and vital medication year round.
Please support my efforts by making a donation and by posting a message of support. No matter how small, your contribution will have a huge impact. As little as $5 helps.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to KTF to support the Naduri Aid Post operations. All donations are tax deductable.
Thanks so much for your support!
