Ben
Ben is an adventure addict, avid traveller and passionate participant in everything outdoors. With a diverse work background stretching from wine bars in London to remote desert communities in Australia’s Northern Territory, Ben lives for the next adventure. Ask him and he will tell you without hesitation that Brisbane is the best city in the world, with access to world class wilderness areas right on our doorstep. On his days off you’ll find him hiking, diving, camping or exploring his most recent passion, sailing. Driven by a belief that interaction with nature is an absolute necessity for human health, Ben came to this role to share this sense of connection to the natural world.

Julian
Born in the shadow of the XXXX brewery here in Brisbane, Julian has been adventuring through the wilderness since taking his first steps. What intrigued him as a child, became a dream and is now his reality: leading groups through World Heritage listed rainforest, slowly taking in the surroundings without the noise of the city or the distractions of modern life or technology. Springbrook and Lamington National Park have always been his favourite places, with the rich rainforest, diverse plant life and amazing unique wildlife it feels like another planet. When he’s not in the wilderness you’ll find him in his shed tinkering, camping with his dog or playing sport.
