24.01.2022 What a way to finish off the year! We've just returned from our last holiday for 2019, this time a little closer to home. We spent 2 glorious days on the Bellarine Peninsula taking in all the sights and making the most of our own backyard. Adventure Park and some surfing where a couple of highlights but getting to spend the weekend with birthday boy Scott was a real treat. Happy b'day again mate! Thanks to the crew who joined us and made it such an amazing trip. Here's a few pics that tell a story. Enjoy!

22.01.2022 2020 with a bang! We're just back from our first holiday of the year and what a way to start. Mt Gambier was a fabulous host and an area we'd love to head back to again sometime soon. It's a beautiful location with way to many attractions to see in just 4 days but we gave it a crack anyway. Here's the trip in pics. Hope you enjoy!

19.01.2022 NEW PROGRAM -PLACES AVAILABLE Changing Tracks are excited to announce that our latest program ‘Hikers’ is kicking off this Thursday 6th Dec but don't panic, you can join anytime..

16.01.2022 We're just home from our latest weekend holiday to the world famous 12 Apostles and surrounding area. It was a brilliant trip made even better by the fabulous group of people who attended. The Great Ocean Road provided heaps of highlights but sometimes its the things you stumble upon by chance that make it memorable. This time it was the Noorat Show, a country fair that people in the western districts flock to by the thousands. It was so much fun that we are planning to add it to next years calendar of activities. Here's a few pics of our travels...

15.01.2022 Just another day out for one of our Adventure Rec crews! Happy Wednesday everyone...

13.01.2022 Recently we headed to Ballarat for a weekend away with a great group of young people. (I meant to post these pics at the time but time got away on me and it slipped off my radar. Sorry for the delay to those who attended). Every now and then someone on one of our holidays celebrates a birthday which always adds to the fun and excitement. On this trip, Christy celebrated her 21st and the celebrations went all weekend!!!. What a privilege it was to share this milestone with her. Happy birthday again buddy. Hope you enjoy these few pics from the trip.

10.01.2022 Iso 2020 -Changing Tracks style! The past couple of months have been tough on us all but we think we've made the most of it. Our usual groups have been off limits but we are still finding creative ways to stay fit, healthy and connected.

Beautiful location, fantastic accommodation, loads of interesting things to do and see all in the company of these wonderful people! Where else would you rather be?! Tailoring holidays to peoples specific interests and needs is such a rewarding part of what we do here at Changing Tracks. Thanks again to the crew for joining me.

08.01.2022 You gotta love a Summer Holiday. Last week we spent 4 glorious but incredibly hot days by the Murray River in Echuca /Moama. Lucky for us we had a pool at our resort and loads of activities we could do indoors when it got too uncomfortable to be outside. Despite the heat we made the most of the place and had a ball. Here's a few pics of our adventures...

08.01.2022 We just had the best trip over to the Mornington Peninsula. Amazing weather, great company and some fantastic sight seeing and activities.

06.01.2022 Its been a long time coming but we were finally able to get a crew away for a much needed break. This time we spent a few days in the Vic high country. No snow this time but still a brilliant experience. Covid has prevented our supported holidays from occurring over the past few months but with some careful planning and strict guidelines in place we were able to enjoy some of the regions highlights. Here's a few pics from the trip. Enjoy!

03.01.2022 One of life's simple pleasures. A group of friends getting away for a weekend of fun, laughter and good company. Enjoying some time out with your mates is something we should all be able to take for granted. Thanks for an awesome trip guys and I hope you enjoy the pics.

03.01.2022 Today we said goodbye to Lachie (that's him up the back with the mo) who's been working with our Tuesday crew for the last 15 months. Lachies built some some great relationships during this time with all the group and will be missed by us all. Not all the group could be there for Lachies last day but this bunch helped us send him off in style. Thanks guys! Best of luck with your adventures mate.

01.01.2022 We've just returned from our latest supported holiday to the amazing Wilsons Prom. Great company and superb weather made the trip a really memorable experience. Thanks to the crew who joined us and I hope you enjoy the pics. We enjoyed it so much that plans have already started for a return trip this time next year. Stay tuned.....

01.01.2022 Not your average day on the bay! Last Saturday was a stunning Autumn day here in the Geelong region and we took the opportunity to get out for a paddle along the waterfront. Turns out a pod of dolphins had the same idea and spent some time with us around the pier. What an awesome experience!!!
