 In 2021 ABM in conjunction with inspired adventures are conducting a trek on the Larapinta Trail in Central Australia of 70km over a week. It is to raise funds for community projects such as providing seeds for Kenyan Farmers, teaching materials for literacy classes in PNG, water tanks and wells and in our own country to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education in Mental Health (Suicide Prevention). It may or may not be something you would consider doing, but you may know of someone who may like to go.
