Follow the footsteps of multi-award winning adventurer and environmentalist, Huw Kingston, at the upcoming screenings of Alpine Odyssey, an epic 700km, 50-day expedition through the rugged beauty of the Aussie Alps.

 

Traversing through the pristine landscapes of Australia’s unique snow-capped mountains, Kingston’s 50-day adventure not only celebrates the splendour of our Aussie alpine landscapes but also underscores the pressing need for environmental conservation in the face of climate change.

‘It was a journey across Country I have loved for decades,’ said Huw. ‘A journey to celebrate the mountains and communities that make up this very special, very small part of Australia. But with love also comes concern and care.’

 

 

Not one to rest on his laurels, Kingston’s scheduled screenings of Alpine Odyssey promise not only to entertain but also to make a difference, with proceeds from the film tour going to Save the Children and Protect Our Winters (POW).

From the nation’s capital to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Buller, there are plenty of opportunities to pull up a chair and enjoy this immersive cinematic experience that aims to inspire and educate audiences about the beauty and fragility of our natural world.
