Welcome to the Brink Expedition!

Imagine attempting a global traverse that would take you 50,000 kilometres through some of the most difficult terrain and extreme weather on the planet, all the time attempting to use only human power and the natural elements.

Starting deep in the heart of Amazonian South America the Brink Expedition will encounter unforgiving Patagonian winds, snowed over Himalayan Mountain passes, monsoons on the sub-continent and the oppressive heat of Australia's Red Centre.

So while the clock ticks, the seasons will turn, making this a full-throttled Race Against the Elements!

Brink Expedition Innovative Education

The Brink Innovative Education project will provide the opportunity for students to learn from other cultures, promoting an understanding of, and a fascination for the complex world around them. As well, the Brink Expedition will encourage an awareness of, and a respect for the natural environment, while emphasizing the students' role as active global citizens.

And with the aid of modern technology the adventures of the Brink Expedition will be shared with Australian schools through LIVE satellite link ups and regular on-line journals, complementing a professionally developed web-based curriculum that has been tailored specially for this global traverse.

By integrating technology and adventure into a real-life context, the Brink Innovative Education project is delivering a progressive form of education that excites and inspires young imaginations, acting as a platform for further investigation and learning.

Powering the Brink Expedition

While on the Brink Expedition Kendon will need electricity to power a few appliances. He will be carrying a small computer, a satellite phone and a battery re-charger. The only viable solution to powering these appliances is to convert solar energy into electricity.
