About Charlie Lynn
Charlie Lynn has had a wealth of life experiences from the battlefields of Vietnam to parachute jumping from 20,000 feet with his American counterparts, trekking along the Kokoda Trail to his work as a Liberal MP.
But common to all of these adventures is his message that we can all achieve if we set our goals and work together as a united team. Charlie Lynn was conscripted into the army for National Service in 1965.
He resigned with the rank of major in 1986 after 21 years service. After leaving the army he organised a number of special events which included: The annual Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon which Cliff Young made famous; An 18,000 km Army Relay Marathon around Australia in support of the Australian Cancer Foundation; A 4,000 km relay between Darwin, Cairns and Melbourne in support of Melbourne’s bid for the 1996 Olympic Games; and The first Great Australian Caravan Safari around Australia.
Since then he has conducted leadership and outback survival training with The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and Adventure West in the Kimberley region of WA, central Queensland and outback New South Wales.
In 1991 he was asked to trek across the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea with a view to organising an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the campaign. He later developed the Kokoda Adventure Leadership Program for young executives from CRA (now Rio Tinto) and the University of Western Sydney National Leadership Scholarship Program.
These days he conducts about 8 treks across the Kokada. He has led groups from the Sydney Swans AFL team, Youth Insearch, Camp Dare, the NSW Young Liberals and Father Chris Riley’s Youth off the Streets programs as part of their personal development programs
