The Difference You'll Make
Imagine trekking on International Women's Day through the breathtaking Victorian Alps, conquering three of Victoria's highest peaks, all while supporting refugee and migrant women in their journey towards empowerment. By participating in the Three Peaks adventure, you'll traverse stunning landscapes—from the towering Snow Gums of Mt Timbertop to the panoramic vistas of Mt Stirling and the serene nature walks of Mt Buller.
Your adventure will directly contribute to the empowerment of women from refugee, migrant, and asylum-seeking backgrounds. Your support helps them overcome barriers such as low English proficiency, limited work experience, and social isolation. Through SisterWorks' comprehensive programs, these women receive industry-specific training, one-on-one employment support, and opportunities for entrepreneurship. This leads to improved confidence, social integration, and economic independence.
Your fundraising efforts will transform lives, helping these women build better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities. Embark on this adventure with a purpose, and make a lasting impact while experiencing the natural beauty of the Victorian Alps.

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. Dinner tonight is eaten at a local eatery celebrating the start to our adventure in the Victorian Alps.

Take notice of how the towering trees give way to beautiful Snow Gums. The Mt Stirling summit is sure to impress, with 360-degree panoramic views over the surrounding mountain ranges where we will enjoy lunch before our descent. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a dinner out in town before resting for the evening.
