When

Friday 31 October from 1pm to 5pm

Exploration takes courage, resilience and vision. From surviving some of the harshest environments on Earth to protecting fragile legacies, leadership is tested at the edge of the world.

On Friday, 31 October 2025, step into the heart of Sydney for an inspiring fundraising lunch in support of the Mawson’s Huts Foundation and our 2026/27 Antarctic conservation expedition.

This unforgettable afternoon will feature Eric Philips OAM – world-leading polar explorer and the first Australian to orbit both poles in space – as he shares his extraordinary journey from the frozen frontiers of Antarctica to the edge of our planet.

Guests will also enjoy a two-course gourmet lunch with drinks, and the chance to bid on bespoke auction items in support of Antarctic heritage preservation.

By attending, you’ll be directly supporting the work of the Mawson’s Huts Foundation.
