Thinking of our brothers and friends in Nepal right now with the devastating floods. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

People are left stranded on rooftops in Kathmandu with workers carrying out rescues on rafts.

A huge shout-out to the staff at the Wunan Foundation and the amazing Peter Cohen for creating a life-changing experience for young people in the Kimberleys. We are proud to have been a small part in their journey, thanks to Pete and his passion.
Well done to everyone involved on this incredible initiative.

Camble Sullivan admits he used to "prowl the streets with the boys", but after hiking through the Kimberley bush he now wants to keep up his schooling and become a ranger.

Just completed the most AWESOME program with the APL members in beautiful Wee Jasper. Hottest we’ve ever been there and midgies made it challenging… but we LOVE a challenge.
Thanks to an incredible team Peta Weis and Gus Haddad- a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside you.

Excellent article by the Centre for Creative Leadership.
"Organizations with a focus on purpose in leadership — with managers who help direct reports find meaning in their work and connect their personal values to the organization’s — have a better chance of attracting, engaging, and retaining talent and enabling the enterprise to meet business objectives more effectively."
A long article, it's well worth the read and pondering your own 'sense of purpose' and how it's reflected in your day-to-day behaviours and interactions.

Purpose-driven leadership is a critical factor for individual and organizational success. Learn how and why purpose in leadership matters.

🌟 Celebrating 29 Years of Adventure Training with the Gurkha Contingent 🌟

I am thrilled to share a significant milestone in the Outback Initiatives journey of service and leadership. Over the past three decades, we have had the honor of serving the Gurkha Contingent of the Singapore Police Force by providing 50 bespoke adventure leadership training programs to their officers in Australia. This incredible journey has shaped the Outback values and taught us the essence of discipline, dedication, leadership and friendship.
Through challenging adventure training, this initiative has cultivated essential skills such as teamwork, resilience, leadership in adversity and adaptability in the hundreds of officers who have undertaken the 'Crocrock' training in the Kimberley and Margaret River regions since 1995.
Thank you to all the awesome staff, vendors and friends of Outback Initiatives and especially to the Gurkha Contingent of the Singapore Police Force for your support and camaraderie on this incredible journey!
A huge thank you to Colin Hendrie and John Brockelsby, founders of Outback Initiatives and Kevin Mansfield, GC Program Director who puts his heart and soul into every program.
Looking forward to another 50 programs with you all.
