We love nature! So we’re getting active in nature again this year to help protect Australia’s iconic wildlife. You can join us and thousands of people across the country for Australia’s Biggest Bushwalk.

Did you know that over 80% of Australia’s animals are found nowhere else other than in our very own big backyard? Sadly, 619 of these Australian animals are threatened species, losing their homes to habitat destruction and climate change every single day. The Sloane’s Froglet, the Freckled Duck, the Gang-Gang Cockatoo, and the Murray Cod are a few examples of endangered species in the Albury Wodonga region.
In May 2026, we’ll be taking on the Australia’s Biggest Bushwalk challenge yet again and raising funds to help bring our beloved animals back from the brink and enjoying the company of like-minded people and being in nature.
