Nothing quite like the walk every fly fisher takes up a stream.

From a first-timer, through to a seasoned angler, it’s a walk we not only we love, but one that calls us time and time again.

In 2025/26 season, we were fortunate to share that same journey with nearly 200 participants, all attended a retreat with us, and many of whom had never fished a trout stream!

While the streams and rivers we call home take a break for the winter, we just can’t wait to be back with SEASON 10 kicking off in October 2026 (open for bookings).

If you like the idea of taking that same walk with us, connect with us today!

Every single man who attends a Men In Flight retreat has the option to select a partial scholarship, or elect to apply for a full scholarship. This is because it our commitment that financial circumstances should never prevent anyone from attending a retreat!

This end of financial year, if you’re in a position to make a donation of any size, we would be grateful for your support. These funds will be directed to our ongoing scholarship program and will directly support men onto retreats.

Your donations over $2.00 will receive a tax-deduction receipt.

Globally, June represents men’s Mental Health Awareness month.

While awareness is great, it can be just another initiative, or event that slides in and out of the yearly calendar.

It’s easy to feel lost, it’s easy to feel tired from carrying that same load dad-after-day, but this month can be your time to reach out to your wife and talk, and take action. This month can be the month you talk to your parents, it could also be the month we talk to a mate, or book and turn up to that GP appointment you’ve been wrestling over in your head with.

Let’s use this awareness this month to not just ‘like’ a post, but let’s use this month to take action on what’s happening in our own lives, or fronting up and supporting those who we have in our corner with meaningful communication, physical support, or that emotional rock we all need at some point in our journeys.

Awareness with action!

Our very first ‘In Flight’ training retreat here in the NSW Snowy Mountains.

These exceptional men underwent a four-day, full-on program that took them from mountain peaks, frigid waters, working through high pressure scenarios, as well as completing their mental health first aid training and deep diving into some big topics on leadership, what it is to be a strong man and how we can have a positive impact in our communities.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to our clinical psychologist for his insight and teachings, just amazing!

Congratulations men, we can’t wait to see you on retreats helping our next men on this journey!

We are very excited to be welcoming back a dozen, or so past participants to the mountains tomorrow for our very first ‘In Flight Keeper’ training retreat.

This retreat will see these men undergo a rigorous training program that will see them hosting and supporting future Men In Flight retreats.

✔️ Mental Health & Su***de Prevention First Aid
✔️ Education & Facilitation Workshops
✔️ Fly Casting & MTB Tutorials
✔️ Remote Area First-Aid Scenario Training

We are so excited to be having these amazing men walk into this retreat and walk out with this training and be a part of our future operations!

Another retreat completed with a great group of men!

This will see our last Men In Flight retreat take place before the snow arrives, but already have October locked in with bookings taking place.

We will also have some coastal events over the coming months, so stay tuned!

Where we all need to be.

When was the last time you carried everything you needed for a few days away on your shoulders?

When was the last time you took a chestful of fresh air into your lungs?

Nature has a journey for all of us. From stepping into the very back corners, through to taking those first steps. And while we all have a different story, nature is a powerful place to navigate those chapters that challenge us.

Make time for these places.
