The Larapinta-Uluru Trek for Family Peace 3-8 September 2009

Tuesday, March 17, 2009


As a director of the non-profit Australia’s CEO Challenge, I am thrilled that CEO Challenge is organising the Larapinta–Uluru Trek for Family Peace. Limited to 15 places only, the trek is in one of the most remote and beautiful parts of Australia and will help make a world where women and children are safe and free.

The picture above is of the Olga Gorge. Although everyone mentions that they have been to Uluru, the Olgas or Kata Tjuta is (in my opinion anyway) much more spectacular. I had expected that the Olgas were made of the same kind of rock, a red sandstone, as Uluru. Not so. I was struck when I walked through this gorge about how the walls were a type of conglomerate- a beautiful form of natural concrete, which surround and envelope you. To be there is to know that you are in one of the unique places on Earth.

YOUR MONEY CAN HELP:

  • Save the life of a young mum and her child when she attends one of CEO Challenge’s employee seminars and understands the concepts of control and power,and recognises the warning signs of violence ($1 a day).
  • Create a toy and book library for children who have left their beloved toys and books behind when their mother sought refuge from a violent relationship in a shelter aided by CEO Challenge ($100).
  • Stop a man raising his hand to his wife or children after attending one of CEO Challenge’s
    seminars or workshops ($500).
  • Provide a shaded area for kids to play at a refuge providing shelter for
    mothers and their children.

Australian Overseas Surrogacy Births Hit Record High Again in 2026 — Here’s Where Families Are Going

Another record year for overseas surrogacy births For every child born through surrogacy in Australia, five are born overseas.

A record 416 Australian children… Read More »Australian Overseas Surrogacy Births Hit Record High Again in 2026 — Here’s Where Families Are Going

Surrogacy statistics: why so many go overseas

Surrogacy is intensely personal, but the numbers tell an important story about how difficult it can be for intended parents in Australia. The central statistic is striking: for every child born in Australia through surrogacy, about four are born overseas. That is not a small difference. It points to a system in which many intended… Read More »Surrogacy statistics: why so many go overseas
