Hike For Healthier Futures

Have you dreamed of traversing some of the most spectacular scenery in Tasmania while on an intimate guided tour?

What about if we said you would also be supporting a local organisation to fund hospital projects and medical equipment?

Mackay Hospital Foundation in conjunction with Inspired Adventures is seeking adventurous, health-conscious people to take part in a Hike for Healthier Futures.

The scenic 5-day trek through the Bay of Fires in Tasmania, from 27 - 31 October, will take participants on an incredible journey through some of the most magnificent scenery this country has to offer.

The adventure sets off from Launceston to Bridport for the Wildflower Walk to Granite Point and continues on to include Cobler Rocks Circuit, Mount William, Picnic Rocks, Eddystone Point, Ansons Bay, Policemans Point and The Gardens, returning to Launceston on day five.

From the pristine coastline with views of the crystal-clear ocean to remote, untouched sections of the region, this trek is a bucket-list adventure for those who appreciate nature and the amazing eco-system in this natural wilderness.

The Bay of Fires package includes four nights twin-share lodge-style accommodation, local trekking guides, meals and snacks. What isn’t included is domestic flights to Launceston, airport transfers, personal expenses such as laundry and alcoholic drinks, travel insurance, tips and gratuities.

How does this benefit Mackay Hospital Foundation? Each participant is required to fundraise a minimum of $3,000 but you don’t have to fundraise alone. The team at Inspired Adventures is happy to help with tips and ideas to help you reach your fundraising goal.

The group will consist of a maximum of 25 people. It’s a low-impact way to explore this rugged beautiful region of Tasmania’s north-east coast and $10 from every registration will support carbon credit programs.

All funds raised in support of Mackay Hospital Foundation will be utilised to purchase medical equipment and projects in public hospitals throughout the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions.
