ResilientQ
Mission 3 – Croydon and Etheridge
What to expect on the mission
Prepare to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life and embark on our ‘expedition into the extraordinary' that’ll push your comfort zone in more ways than one and help you discover reserves of resilience and leadership you never knew you had.
Following on from our previous ResilientQ missions in the Torres Strait and Bundaberg, we’re heading to the beautiful regions of Croydon and Etheridge, located in Far North Queensland. Spanning a vast distance there is a wide variety of landscapes, locations and adventures on offer from winding mountain bike trails, fossicking, hot springs, stunning waterways, magnificent gorges, huge cattle stations and unique train journeys through the wilderness.
The mission at the ‘Nape of the Cape’ will be packed full of activities to test your limits, redefine what’s possible, take your leadership skills to the next level and help you create lifelong connections with your fellow adventurers and the local community.
In partnership with the Croydon Shire Council and Etheridge Shire Council you’ll have the opportunity to explore new ways for the community to start and grow more businesses and improve their access to essential services and become known as the adventure capital for mountain biking in Australia!
