Rex Pemberton, youngest Australian to summit Mt Everest, will speak in Canberra next month – free!
Rex Pemberton will recount his feat of being the youngest Aussie to climb Everest (and he skied down a good bit of it too, until his mate’s skis that he borrowed were buried in an avalanche that wiped out Camp 1). It’s free, courtesy of Kumuka Travel, who sponsored Rex’s adventure. I believe you have to book though.
6th Sept – Canberra. Australian Institute of Sport, Bruce. 6:30pm start. Email: melita@kumuka.com
