Despite wild weather throwing them a curveball, the team adapted, explored Mt Tamborine, and raised $1,175 to support rainforest conservation in the Daintree Forest. 🌱 The funds will help purchase and restore a 9-hectare rainforest block, which will be returned to the Kuku Yalangi people for protection as part of their Country. Get inspired by John’s story and mark your calendars - join us in September 2025 for the next Gondwana Rainforest Challenge.
