OUR GOAL
-

Over 8 incredible days, you’ll experience a hike through the gorgeous Australian west coast!

You’ll join a like-minded team who are passionate about raising vital funds and awareness for better mental health, to explore the rugged and wild southern coastline of WA! You’ll walk along the cliff tops, wander through the magnificent and ancient Karri forest, witness stunning views of red granite boulders, and experience some of Australia’s finest white sand beaches and turquoise waters.

This hiking challenge blends nature with commodity, as you’ll stay in comfortable accommodation in Margaret River. Each day will challenge you to forge new friendships, without carrying a heavy pack! You’ll sample the local produce from The Common Bistro, Vass Felix Estate, The Brewhouse, Cape Grace Winery, and Caves House.

Get ready – the adventure starts here…

How your fundraising helps

 

1 in 5 Australians experience mental illness every year. And more than 50% of those won’t seek any help.

The Black Dog Institute works in partnership with communities, professionals and governments to bring evidence-informed change to mental health where it is needed most. Our team are working hard to build mental health awareness and reduce stigma in schools, workplaces and communities across Australia. But we need your help to prevent suicide and create better mental health for all.
