News is coming in that 8 kayakers have just been rescued in Anglesea. The winds are nearly 100km/h at the moment. This isn't one of our groups, and if this activity was conducted by a tour company they should have all their permits and licences revoked ASAP. They should also get billed for the rescue. Going out on kayaks in this weather is just plain stupid.

So far in 2016 we've taken guests road cycling, gone orienteering through the street art lanes of Melbourne, took a group out of executives out in Daylesford, done some mountain biking, and found some venues for clients. March is crazy busy and long lead demand for October and November is very strong.

2015 has been another record year for Adventure for Life in terms of number of events, number of guests, beers drunk at events, and number of locations. We've delivered activities in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, ACT, SA and Tasmania this year. We kicked off the year with a full on night time wilderness search and rescue mission, finished it with corporate orienteering, and had plenty of hard and soft adventures along the way. From wine tours to whitewater rafting, we've had a blast in 2015. Click the following link for a 2 minute 2015 highlights video.

A long term staple of the team building industry is getting your team to put together a pile of bikes and then handing them over to a local charity. Yes it sounds great and I'm sure participants get a sense of achievement, but there's a few very good reasons why we don't offer this program. Here they are: [list type="check"] Bikes come fully assembled in shops for a reason. When non-mechanics put them together the warranty is void. Bikes assembled by non-mechanics can be extremely dangerous To stretch event budgets, cheaper bikes are often purchased for bike builds. Bikes need an initial tune after about 50km of riding. Cables stretch and gears need adjusting. If the initial tune isn't done, cheap bikes become unridable within months. Bikes are often handed over with no maintenance equipment or instructions on how to keep them on the road. some people just aren't mechanically minded I collect unwanted bikes for a charity that sends them off to Africa where they are reconditioned and used for low cost transportation. Half the bikes I collect are only 6 months old and have seized completely. [/list] If you are really keen to do a CSR team building, we are offering a Regional Victorian wine tour in exchange for a donation to our preferred charity. Your delegates will be much happier, and the long term benefits are way more substantial. For more information just call or email.

Corporate Orienteering is one of our most popular programs and it is flexible enough to be run as a team building or incentive activity. This week we ran an event for 65 people on our coolest course yet. Based at Scenic World in the Blue Mountains, teams had to track down about 25 checkpoints using GPS units, compasses, walkie talkies, and aerial maps. To access the checkpoints, groups used the Skyway, Scenic Railway, and Cable Car at Scenic World. These rides provided stunning views of the 3 Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Orphan Rock, and the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park. Our international guests were amazed at the sites. Corporate Orienteering is a points based activity and teams visit as many checkpoints and complete as many other challenges as possible, in a set time frame. A $1000 prize for the winners kept the teams interested. After the scoring deadline, our guests enjoyed a lunch while we tallied team totals. The presentation ceremony took place at a historic pub in Central Katoomba. Congratulations to Team 1 "The Kangaroos" with a winning score of 498 points.

...is filling up fast for the rest of the year. October-December is the busiest time of year for corporate events and we are blocking out plenty of dates in the calendar. October being exceptionally busy. We have already had to turn down a few requests. If you're keen to use Adventure for Life for a team building, incentive, Christmas Party, or adventure activity, we do need a reasonable lead time during peak season.

With only three Fridays in December before Christmas, sourcing venues, entertainment, and activities at this year's Christmas party is going to be harder than normal. Now is the time to start locking things in.
