Open Invitation to our Welcome Home Party! - Click for full-size.


In August 2008, after spending a combined 128 days alone
on the world's ninth largest and largely unexplored Victoria Island in the Canadian Arctic, Clark Carter and Chris Bray have become the first people in history to walk across this remarkable island - a distance of 1000 kilometres.

They are back on home soil now and are ready to celebrate
so please catch up with the boys for a fun night out and take a look at their photos and video on display throughout the evening.


All Welcome! Under 18's until 9pm if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Date: Saturday October 11th 2008

Time: 6 pm - Midnight (6:30 - 7:00 official welcome by the Canadian consulate and a few words by Clark and Chris)

Where: Ryan’s Bar, Australia Square Tower, 264 George Street, Sydney.

Please, tell your friends - the more the merrier!

Just a note also that Chris will be writing a proper update soon covering the journey home and the latest with what's up in our world and also announcing the winners to our competitions we had running during the expedition. In the mean time, feel free to inspect the website for Clark's Indian Ocean Row.
