Trojans Trek

27/07/2026

After years of planning, we've just run our first-ever Partners Trek.

Couples came together at Tangalooma Island Resort on Moreton Island to work through what matters most to them — values, identity, relationships, and where they're headed next. The setting was a fair bit more comfortable than our usual programmes (not a swag in sight), but the couples still did all the real work themselves.

We're proud of what they achieved together, and grateful to the Queensland Government ANZAC Day Trust, whose support made this first Partners Trek possible.

In the words of one participant: "I feel loved because now I understand that my partner did not show love because he didn't love me but because he didn't know how to show me love."

We're hopeful this is the first of many. If you'd like to see us run more Partners Treks, tell us in the comments.

today we kick off our first Partners Trek! Thanks to a grant from the Queensland Veteran's Council, we are running a Trek for five and their partners at the beautiful Tangalooma Island Resort on Moreton Island.

The four-day program will be a chance for the couples to reconnect and rediscover their values and identity while building a strong future together. Facilitated by our TV Star, JJ Taylor and the TT facilitation team, the couples are in great hands.

What a night at . Part 2: the awards night.

Trojans Trek was proud to be a Silver Sponsor of the Veteran Business Community .

It was an honour for our Chair, Daniel Vincent, to present the Health, Fitness and Wellness Award to Dr Alexis Badger from With Me With You.

Congratulations, Alexis, on a well-deserved recognition.

One of the highlights of the day was hearing Damien Thomlinson share his incredible story. His resilience, humour and ability to inspire never fail to leave a lasting impression, especially when he gets the crowd laughing with his "party tricks" using his prosthetic leg.

It was also fantastic to see everyone getting behind the charity auction. Every dollar raised will support Defence Kidz, an organisation doing outstanding work for the children of current and former Australian Defence Force members.

A big thank you to the Veteran Business Community (VBC), the Commonwealth Bank, the sponsors, volunteers and everyone who made such a successful event.

We’re proud to be part of a community that continues to support veterans through collaboration and shared purpose.

What a fantastic day at VetCon26. Part 1: the conference.

The Trojans Trek team was proud to attend VetCon26, hosted by the Veteran Business Community (VBC) in partnership with the Commonwealth Bank.

The day began with the conference, which gave us the opportunity to share the work Trojans Trek is doing to support veterans and emergency services through our peer-led wilderness programs. It was a privilege to connect with so many passionate people and organisations who are committed to making a positive difference in the veteran community.

A huge thank you to the organisers, Pete Liston and Julie Hall, for bringing together such an inspiring event, and to everyone who stopped by to learn more about our mission. We enjoyed the conversations, the new connections and the opportunity to collaborate with others working to improve outcomes for those who have served.

We look forward to continuing the conversations and building even more partnerships in the months ahead.

Final days to join a winning team.

We're closing in on $120,000 — enough to put 15 more veterans through an award-winning, proven program. There's still time to be part of it.

Every $8,000 puts one more veteran through.

Today, we had the privilege of honouring our founders, Moose Dunlop OAM and Dogs Kearney OAM, with the unveiling of a commemorative bench at the Repat Health Precinct in South Australia.

More than 70 people joined us to celebrate two men whose vision, leadership and commitment have touched the lives of so many veterans and their families. Thank you to everyone who took the time to be there and share this special occasion.

A sincere thank you to Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, Repatriation Commissioner Kahlil Fegan, and The Hon. Chris Picton MP for your generous words and support.

The bench now stands as a lasting tribute not only to Moose and Dogs but also to the values of service, mateship and community that they have embodied throughout their lives and Trojans Trek. We hope it becomes a place where people can pause, reflect and connect for many years to come.

After purchasing new equipment, the team at Trojans Trek donated 22 swags to Chris Burns and the team at the Hutt St Centre. The donation will provide warmth and comfort to people experiencing homelessness across Adelaide during a particularly cold start to winter.
