Annual Regeneration Trip

Our annual Regeneration Trip will be in it’s seventh iteration in 2027. Each year, in late May, our team and a loose group of partners and friends head to Far North Queensland. The trip is ever-evolving, but the mission remains the same - involving our head, hearts and hands in ecological restoration.

Over the years we’ve partnered with organisations such as Rainforest Rescue, Parlay and Ocean Safari. The journey generally revolves around Rainforest Rescue’s community tree-planting day (where in 2026 we helped plant 5,000 new trees on reclaimed land in the Daintree) and a coastal cleanup at Cape Bedford (where in 2026 we recovered 3,000 kilograms of plastic and debris).

Cape Bedford is a remote stretch of coastline north of Hope Vale, on Thitthaar Warra Country. This coastline sits directly in the path of the South Equatorial Current, a huge westward-flowing current that crosses the Pacific Ocean. This swirling current acts like a conveyor belt, carrying plastic waste from across the entirety of the Pacific before depositing it onto Australia's once-pristine, remote northern beaches.

We find fishing gear, ropes, bottles, thongs, toothbrushes, food containers, toys and countless fragments of plastic that have travelled thousands of kilometres. Standing on this Country is a stark, visceral reminder that even the most remote places on Earth are not immune to our global plastic crisis.

The vision for this trip has always been the same: to leave more energised, focused, active and hopeful than when we arrived. It's easy to feel despair when confronted by ecosystems under such immense pressure. But regeneration isn't just about restoring landscapes. It's about restoring our own belief in a culture that can change.
