Show Notes
Grab a cold one and settle in for a special yarn with lifelong mate Kenny on Outback Tracks and Trails.
Kenny, originally a Victorian and now living the good life in Burleigh Heads, QLD, joins us to talk about his upcoming journey to Utah in July. He’s taking on the Animas Quest — a powerful modern wilderness vision quest involving four days and nights of solo fasting in nature, deep soul work, ceremony, and seeking clarity on life purpose and meaning.
We chat about why he’s called to do this transformative experience, how it contrasts with our usual outback 4WD trips and High Country adventures, his love for the Queensland coastal lifestyle, and what he hopes to bring back from the Utah wilderness.
It’s a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about personal growth, stepping out of your comfort zone, and the power of nature as a teacher. Whether you’re into big adventures, self-discovery, or just love a deep fireside chat with a good mate, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
Pull up a chair and join the conversation — you’ll feel right at home.
