Evolve at Typo Station was founded in 1993 and has been offering opportunities for young people to make positive changes in their lives ever since. Using our former cattle grazing property on the edge of the Alpine National Park, Typo Station, we challenge disadvantaged and at risk young Victorians with a 100km hike and pioneer style living, while at the same time teaching them life skills such as effective communication and anger management. We also apply Narrative and Bush Therapy practices to allow our young people to take control of their lives and their futures. I am one of only two marketing staff working for Evolve and my background is varied, with qualifications in events management and marketing, and having worked in these areas as well as in account management and anti-money laundering compliance. I have worked in the not-for-profit space previously for the Royal Agricultural Society, and growing up in rural Victoria, I love spending time up at 'Typo' and seeing our young folk develop in their two-to-three year journey with us.

That the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard has no law enforcement powers and enjoys a reputation for being helpful and courteous to all boat owners. That flotillas and radio bases are located from the Skardon River in the Gulf of Carpentaria, down the eastern sea board to Ceduna in South Australia, including Tasmania and major inland lakes and weirs. Expansion is continuing in areas of need. We would like to thank Ray for taking time to come to our meeting and give his presentation.
