I was told the drive was 3 hours by Dave which probably helped me get there. Should I just bail and go the lone wolf and stop inflicting my family with this CURSE.
Before the trek I could not even sleep, just toss and turn with thoughts what have I gotten into, how did my life get so f…d up. I have gotten a lot out of this journey, met some amazing blokes who I will be mates with for life. Yesterday here was only the first day and already I feel like I have known some of the blokes here for a while.īeing here is really reinforcing where I am at, where I want to be and who I want to be. I sincerely hope to one day spend my time being a part of this and sharing my knowledge …It makes me fell alive again. I would seriously consider coming back as a mentor as well as trying to influence some digger mates to consider coming on 2014. I find just being in the middle of the wilderness with like-minded blokes to be very grounding, peaceful relaxing. Wow! Where to start? I suppose the beginning but in the journey, where is the beginning? I am surprised just how quickly and unplanned the panic sets in. I was apprehensive about doing a journal but I think, albeit slowly I am finding the process helpful. When I sit back and think poor me, I know now to stop and engage some common sense, I am not alone! Being in this environment has taught me humility and respect. So THANK YOU to you and Moose for giving xxxxxxxxx the opportunity to ever go on the Trek in the first place, to gain the tools and change his mindset to become one of the most amazing and positive people I know - partner of 2014 participant. “It was our absolute pleasure to lend you and the Trek our xxxxxxxxx (the best Daddy & Husband in the whole wide world) although we did miss him very much we knew he would be nothing short of amazing!! He was chuffed to be asked to go on the Trek as staff this year and had no hesitation at all accepting the offer as he and I both know if it wasn’t for TT we wouldn’t be the happiest little family that we are today. ….” Moose, I say you can teach some old dogs new tricks” Honk honk!! 2014 trekker Trojan’s Trek was up there with one of the most, if not the most enlightening experience I have had as a Vietnam veteran trying to come home since I returned from Vietnam over 40 years ago. Thanks to everyone for allowing us to post these. The following qualitative comments are taken at random from participants journals and correspondence.

Following is a selection from the data analysis completed in SA for the 2018 trek. To date the results over 10 years have set new bench-marks for peer outdoor support. Naturally the board and the staff are also interested in the evaluations as it provides a scientific method to gauge success. Very few peer support programs are subject to the same scrutiny. The reason for this is simply to ensure that the program remains relevant and beneficial to the participants. QLD attenders, and by Flinders University staff in SA for those attenders.
