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.

The Children First Foundation Team In Adelaide


Last Friday was a historical day for the business community of Adelaide. The Grand Ballroom of the Adelaide Hilton Hotel was packed with eager people from the business community eager to listen to the stories of hope from Moira Kelly, Children First Foundation's Executive Director.


This was the beginnings of something big! The Children First Foundation now has a fund raising branch in Adelaide where many children supported by the Children First Foundation have already received much needed medical attention.

 Children First Foundation SA was born!

Money raised during the luncheon with both a live auction and a silent auction will go towards much needed medical support to children who would normally not have access to the specialists and their skills.

Moira Kelly made her first speech since the world held it's breath as we waited to hear of the news of the separation of formally conjoined twins, Trishna and Krishna. Her stories of children who have been helped through fund raising activities had everyone inspired and leaving with a sense of hope and willingness to strive for a better world for those less fortunate than ourselves.

The entire day was a resounding success and much needed funds for the life changing and life saving work with children to continue were raised.
