About Russell Osborne

My photo
For ten years I had been planning a transcontinent expedition as a fundraiser for the Children First Foundation. My wife and I left Katherine April 2008 and arrived in Melbourne on the 22/11/09, walking over 6500 Km in total, taking in some of the harshest and remote areas of the planet. Currently, I am organising another Transcontinental Camel Expedition from Perth to Sydney, again for Moira Kelly's Children First Foundation. I work as a keynote Speaker, Ambassador for the Children First Foundation and operate Camel Safaris in South Australia on Beltana Station.

Perth to Sydney Thank You Camel Expedition Aims and Objectives

The Perth to Sydney Thank You Camel Expedition will leave Perth early 2013 to travel across the Nullabor, through the deserts of Western Australia and South Australia, across New South Wales and enter Sydney on the 22/12/2013, (Trishna and Krishna's Birthday), in support of Moira Kelly's Children First Foundation.

The camel trek will:

Take approximately ten months to complete

Cross the Australian continent from the west coast to the east

coast.

Help some children with critical illnesses.

Involve corporations and Individuals in a fund-raising expedition.

Create awareness of the work done by the Children First Foundation.

Australian Camel Man Russell Osborne Documentary

There is no doubt about it in my mind that success breeds success.
Having successfully crossed Australia totally on foot with my wife Ros and eight camels for the Children First Foundation, a number of documentary makers have approached me to be a part of the Perth to Sydney Thank You Camel Expedition which I am planning for in 2013.
Naturally, I'm listening to them and their ideas in order to assist me create awareness of the expedition, the work of Moira Kelly and the Children First Foundation.
There are a number of other offers which haven't become clear to me as yet. Fortunately, time is still on my side and eventually, I will be in a position to decide who will do the expedition documentary and the Children First Foundation the most amount of justice.
I am putting together a package of aims and objectives for the expedition along with organisational details.Keep your eye out for this as it will become clear as to where, when and why this new expedition, the Perth to Sydney Thank You Camel Expedition 2013 has eventuated. This information will assist me in deciding which documentary maker is the right one for the job.
Cheers for now.
