The Difference You'll Make

 

Anchor believes in an Australia where anyone experiencing homelessness has a pathway to safety and independence.

Taking part in Anchor - Two Peaks Victoria 2025 promises to be an unforgettable exploration of two of Victoria’s highest peaks! In addition to this, you will also be able to show your support for Anchor’s dedication to disadvantaged youth-at-risk, and raising the awareness that Homelessness is not just about lacking shelter, but a complex web of disadvantage that encompasses economic hardship, social exclusion, and a lack of stability. It can stem from unemployment, mental health struggles, domestic violence, or systemic barriers to access affordable housing and essential services.

Beyond physical displacement, homelessness erodes dignity, limits opportunities, and deepens the divide between those with security and those struggling to survive.

See how the donations you receive on this trek can truly make a difference:

  • $51 can equip a young person with practical skills such as learning how to drive
  • $90 can support a young person to develop their networks and community connections
  • $173 can support a young person to acquire vital life and living skills such as cooking and budgeting

By signing up for this adventure, you are directly telling young people in Anchor’s care that they are important to the community, they are not forgotten, and they are always included. That the people they walk past in the street care about them – even if they never meet them, even if they never know where the help came from.

Receiving support from warm and generous people in the community like you changes the course of these young people’s lives for the better.

Trip notes

This morning we’ll meet in central Melbourne and head north. Our first day’s drive takes us through stunning Victorian country landscapes. After a quick lunch, our first challenge begins as we make our way to the summit of Mt Timbertop, whose flat top is unmistakable. The first half of the track is through a forest of tall Manna Gum trees with abundant wildlife winding to an open area that offers views of the mountains to the South and valleys to the West. The summit is a home to beautiful Snow Gums that offer a welcome shade on sunny days. After we descend, we’ll head to our accommodation in Mt Buller to freshen up for dinner.

How challenging is this adventure?

This adventure is ranked 3/5. While no extensive trekking experience is required prior to registering, our adventures are specifically designed for people who are relatively fit and willing to train. The Victorian Two Peaks Challenge is a physical challenge, involving trekking in hilly terrain for up to 6 hours over 2 consecutive days. The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the experience. 

You will be well supported on the adventure, with the guides and your team all cheering you on. You are free to move at your own pace and we will take frequent breaks. 

How many people will be on my adventure? 

We believe small group travel is better for the planet, and better for you. Our adventures average between 10 - 20 participants, connected by their commitment to the greater good.

Can I join an Inspired Adventure on my own?

Of course, most people do! Throughout your adventure journey, we will connect you with your fellow adventurers so you can get to know each other before you hit the road.

What is the general age range of participants?

The minimum age for this adventure is 18, however younger ages are considered on application. We have had participants aged 16–84+ take part in our challenges, all united by their sense of philanthropy and adventure.

I have dietary requirements, will I be catered for? 

Of course, we will happily arrange for any dietary requirements you’ve noted during booking to be catered for. Please advise your local guide on Day 1 as well. You will be fed very well while you’re on the adventure, but if you have a very specific dietary requirement or severe allergies, often it’s best to pack some extra things as back-up.

Who is Inspired Adventures? 

Anchor has partnered with Inspired Adventures to bring you this adventure of a lifetime. Over the last 20 years, Inspired Adventures has taken over 8,000 people, just like you, on adventures all around the world, raising over $50 million for important causes. When you choose to travel with Inspired Adventures and Anchor, you can be confident you’re in the best hands.

How do I train for this adventure? 

We will provide you with information on how to prepare for your adventure when you register. In addition, we recommend that you consult your GP and a personal trainer to develop a training plan that will prepare you for the challenge.

As part of your training, we recommend making use of your free time to complete a full day hike and if possible, get up and do it again the next day. You should aim to be able to walk in hilly terrain for 6-8 hours comfortably over consecutive days.

It is sensible to start training as early as possible before you go on your trek.

What is the accommodation like? 

Accommodation on this adventure is twin-share in 3-star motels and you can expect all of the usual amenities.

Will I be sharing accommodation?

Accommodation on this adventure is based on twin-share. You will be paired with a teammate of the same gender and, whenever possible, age group. Single rooms are available at an additional cost and subject to availability.

I’m travelling with a friend, can we stay together?

Absolutely! If you’re travelling with a friend, please make note of this and we will pair you together.

How is my luggage transported?

You will only need to carry a day-pack with you each day.

How do I fundraise?

Never fundraised before? Not sure where to start? No worries, we don’t expect to do it alone. You will have regular support from the Inspired Adventures fundraising team, who will help you make a fundraising plan to meet your target. Alongside personalised coaching, we will also send you lots of ideas and resources on how to fundraise. From online fundraising to trivia nights, to bake sales and out-of-the-box ideas, we have years and years of tried and tested tips to make your fundraising a success.

What happens if I don’t meet my fundraising target? 

It’s normal to worry you won’t meet your fundraising target, but we know you can do it. In fact, with the support of Inspired Adventures, almost everyone goes on to raise far more than they imagined. 

By registering for the adventure, you agree to raise the minimum fundraising amount specified. Like you, we are looking to make a significant impact for our charity partners, so the goal is for each person to have met their fundraising target before departure. If you fail to raise the minimum fundraising target by this time, we will review the situation on a case-by-case basis.

I’m travelling with a friend, can we fundraise together? 

Absolutely! Fundraising with a friend is a great idea. Just remember the fundraising target is per person, so you will each need to meet the minimum fundraising goal to participate. We know you can do it.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Registration fee: $290 (non-refundable after 5 days)

Do I need to have insurance?
