Growing up in a home surrounded by bush in Bendigo, central Victoria, Kate was introduced to the joys of camping and hiking from a very young age and spent much of her youth exploring the Victorian high country and other national parks with her family.
Entering her first rogaine more than 23 years ago in Victoria (with her Mum!), she instantly fell in love with the strategy, adventure and opportunities to explore parts of the country you can only gain access via a rogaine. The desire to explore never really stopped and Kate has since rogained and hiked her way around various parts of Australia and the World.
Coming from an ex-Navy background, Kate brings to the position a strong leadership and problem-solving skill set. You will find Kate innovative and very enthusiastic. A great team player who is thoroughly enjoying passing on the love of the outdoors to the next generation with her son.
The committee was terribly sad to see our outgoing President, Mark Porter leave South Australia and the association after his nine years of service, however, we welcome the change and the opportunity to grow as an organisation under the guidance of Kate and the SA Rogaining team.
