Star Power and Stunning Scenery as Tour d’Horse Continues

The KIDS Foundation < 1 mins read

Tour d’Horse riders are back in the saddle for Day Four of the ride, taking on the breathtaking Hunter River Scenic Trail, proudly supported by Archibald Neasham Racing. With just days remaining, momentum is building as riders push toward their $1 million fundraising goal for the KIDS Foundation, helping young Australians recovering from trauma and injury.

On the ride today is Australian film legend Tom Burlinson, whose iconic role in The Man From Snowy River continues to inspire generations. His appearance is a powerful nod to the horse-human connection at the heart of this event.

Also lending their voices and support are director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap, The Man from Snowy River) and KIDS Foundation Founder and CEO Dr Susie O’Neill OAM, both available for media interviews today.

“Tour d’Horse is about so much more than the kilometres we cover,” said Dr O’Neill. “It’s about the power of horses to bring people together, to heal, to inspire, and to remind us what really matters. To have people like Tom Burlinson and Simon Wincer join us along with riders from across the country is incredible. The impact we’re making together will change lives.”

Interview opportunities are available today with Tom Burlinson, Simon Wincer, Dr Susie O’Neill and Annabel Neasham.

Backing down from net zero puts people and communities at risk

The Liberal Party’s decision to abandon the commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 puts people, communities and the environment at risk. This threat is most acute for people and communities experiencing disadvantage, who have least capacity to prepare, adapt and recover from extreme weather events, ACOSS says. “This withdrawal from the emissions commitment, as the global community is gathered at COP, shows indifference to our climate emergency and threatens further harm to people already experiencing the sharpest impacts of climate change,” ACOSS Acting CEO Edwina MacDonald said. “Communities experiencing disadvantage across Australia face escalating threats from intensifying natural disasters.…

Victorian homelessness body warns of irreparable damage without urgent housing investment

Council to Homeless Persons has issued an impassioned plea to the Victorian Government to continue its legacy of bold reforms by funding evidence-backed programs and solutions to the state’s worsening homelessness emergency. Victoria’s peak body for homelessness has used its 2026-27 budget submission to highlight the highest rates of homelessness in living memory, calling for urgent and strategic investments which could turn the tide for the state, which has the lowest share of social housing in the country. “The Victorian Government has a strong track record of bold reform. Our leaders have given us action on Treaty, voluntary assisted dying…
