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

Cover approximately 4200kms.

Trek through some of Australia's remotest deserts.

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.

Raise funds along the journey to assist a child in desperate medical need through the Children First Foundation.

Celebrate Trishna and Krishna's birthday (22/12/2013) and the birthday's of all children in need of life saving and life changing medical assistance.

Children First Foundation Ball 2010


Ros and I have just returned from Melbourne where the Children First Foundation had their major fund-raising ball titled Under the Crimson Sun.
It was an unbelievable night with one of the highlights being seeing the Children First Foundation children, including the twins, Trishna and Krishna.
All of the children have and some are still undergoing medical operations.
The twins are doing famously and to see these two little girls being just that, two happy little girls, after all they went through just over a year ago with their separation operation, brought tears to the four hundred plus people who enjoyed the evening.

The evening was a first class event and congratulations must go to Moira, Marg, all of the office staff and all of the volunteers for their efforts in making the night the success it was.

Congratulatulations to all..

Only the other day 22/11/2010 marked one year exactly since the Darwin to Melbourne Thank You Camel Expedition walked through Melbourne to say thank you to Moira Kelly and the Children First Foundation for their work of saving and changing children's lives. It seemed ironic that it just happened that I was with the camels on Beltana Station in the Flinders Ranges exactly one year since walking the camels through Melbourne to see Moira and her teams.

For Ros and myself, a lot has occurred since then. We have been married, moved to South Australia and slowly getting back onto our feet again after the camel expedition which took two years of our lives away from mainstream living.

Already, the plans for the solo camel expedition for the Children First Foundation from Perth to Sydney in 2013 are on the way and I will keep you up to date with these as progress continues.

Thank you to everyone who supported us and assisted us with the Darwin to Melbourne Thank You Camel Expedition and I hope I receive as much support on my solo attempt to walk across Australia on the Perth to Sydney Thank You Camel Expedition 2013 for the Children First Foundation.

Cheers For Now
