Each year 10 young people from 16 years of age in SE NSW begin one of the biggest challenges of their life, journeying from Bermagui on the east coast of Australia to the top of the Snowy Mountains using boats, bikes and boots. Along the way they learn about the natural environment and about living more sustainably. The 12 day journey is also part of a Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.
6 days of training are spread over two training camps in July and September.
Young people pay a total of $500 for their training but are supported by scholarship for the journey (worth $1000). In recognition of this support, young people fundraise to support the next group. This community service is part of their Award. They find walkathon sponsors and give talks to businesses and service clubs.
