$44,000 RAISED FOR SHELTERBOX AUSTRALIA!

We are thrilled to announce that our Hume & Hovell Trek4Shelter 2026 has raised an incredible $44,000 to help ShelterBox provide emergency shelter and essential supplies to families affected by disasters around the world.

ShelterBox is currently responding in 14 disaster-affected areas, including Nepal, working to reach families who have lost their homes and are in urgent need of assistance — including those living in remote communities.

Every dollar raised helps support this vital work, providing shelter and essential items to people facing some of their most difficult days.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our trekkers, donated, fundraised, volunteered or helped make Stage 1 of this journey possible. Your generosity and encouragement have made a real difference.

This achievement is a wonderful example of what we can accomplish when our community comes together for a shared purpose.

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one step at a time!

Hume & Hovell Trek for ShelterBox 2026 – Day 2 Done!

We made it to Captain’s Campsite! What a great day on the trail.

We settled into a steady pace as we made our way along Black Range Road, taking in the journey one step at a time.
A huge thank you to the local community members who left freshly baked cookies and fresh water at their front gates for our trekkers - such thoughtful gesture!

Thank you also to the HumeLink truck drivers who took extra care as they passed us, often with a friendly wave. It was wonderful to feel that support along the way.

And our Rotary Club of Yass team - absolutely outstanding! They kept our bellies full and made sure we were well looked after. Robert and Judy even had our chairs waiting at morning tea and lunch, giving us a welcome chance to rest our weary legs.

We arrived at camp around 3.30pm, set up our tents and settled in for the night. An early one for us, knowing we’d be up with the birds tomorrow!

While we’re grateful for the opportunity to take on this challenge, we never lose sight of why we’re doing it. Every kilometre is helping raise funds for ShelterBox Australia, supporting emergency shelter and essential supplies for families affected by disaster.

We are truly blessed to have this experience, and it’s a privilege to turn our footsteps into practical help for people facing unimaginable circumstances.
Tomorrow, we’re back at it! One step at a time, for ShelterBox. 💚

Hume & Hovell Trek for ShelterBox 2026 – We’re underway!

Yesterday, we kicked off our Hume & Hovell Trek for ShelterBox with a meet and greet at historic Cooma Cottage, the final residence of explorer Hamilton Hume.

A huge thank you to Barbara, Nick and the team for their warm welcome and for sharing the history of this beautiful homestead with us.
From there, we walked the first 4km into Yass — and while it wasn’t the most pleasant stretch, it was a great way to get started!

This morning, our trekkers depart from the Yass Courthouse and head towards Captain’s Campsite on Black Range Road, taking on the first major stage of our journey.

A heartfelt thank you to the members of the Rotary Club of Yass, the Rotary Club of Tumut, the Rotary Club of Batemans Bay, the ShelterBox Australia team, Cooma Cottage, Burrinjuck Reflections and everyone who has contributed their time, energy and generosity to bring this project to life.

Most importantly, the funds raised are going towards providing emergency relief to people affected by the recent disasters in Nepal. Every donation helps ShelterBox deliver essential shelter and supplies to families who need them most.

WHY WE WALK – HUME & HOVELL FOR SHELTERBOX

This is why the Hume & Hovell Trek matters.

While we are preparing to walk 72km from Yass to Wee Jasper, ShelterBox is working on the ground in Nepal, helping families affected by disaster who have lost homes, belongings and the security of a safe place to sleep.

As part of the ongoing response in Nepal, multiple aid flights are delivering tarpaulins, ropes, family tents, winterisation kits, thermal blankets and solar lights to affected areas.

The Hume & Hovell Trek – 2026 is more than a 72km walk. It is our way of raising awareness and funds for ShelterBox Australia and helping provide practical emergency shelter and essential supplies to people whose lives have been turned upside down by disaster.

Every kilometre we walk, every dollar we raise and every person who shares our story helps shine a light on the difference ShelterBox can make.

15 trekkers. 72km. One purpose.

HUME & HOVELL TREK4SHELTER 2026!

Yass and Surrounds, we’re walking for ShelterBox Australia!

This October, a group of hikers will set off from Cooma Cottage in Yass as part of the inaugural Hume & Hovell Trek – Trek4Shelter Challenge, raising funds for ShelterBox Australia.

The 2026 trek is the first of five stages planned to complete the entire 426 km Hume & Hovell Track, with this year’s 72 km stage taking our hikers from Yass to Wee Jasper.

But this walk is about much more than kilometres.

ShelterBox Australia is currently on the ground in Nepal, working alongside communities affected by disaster and providing essential shelter, household items and support to help families recover and rebuild their lives.

Our hikers are walking to help make that work possible.

This is a Rotary Club of Yass project, bringing together Rotarians, friends and supporters from across the region to raise much-needed funds for ShelterBox and disaster relief.

We’d love the Yass community to get behind our hikers — whether that’s by following their journey, cheering them on along the way, or making a donation.

Every contribution helps ShelterBox provide practical support to people who have lost their homes and livelihoods following disaster.

Walk with us. Support ShelterBox. Help families rebuild.

Lookout clean up continues
In recent weeks Yass Rotary has continued to clean up the lookout site at Irvine Drive as it prepares for the construction of a new drive way and a carpark providing space for a minimum of 3 cars with a turnaround area.

Lookout native plantings commence
During June a team of Yass Landcare and Yass Rotary volunteers planted the first tranche of native trees and shrubs at the lookout at Irvine Drive Yass. The plantings will complement the aesthetics of
the lookout and protect the privacy of residential properties adjacent to the location. Yass Rotary is extremely grateful to Yass Landcare for their contribution to the project. A great
example of local organisations uniting for good.
