Conquer the corrugations

Co-founder Emma Jackson says the goal is to have a walk in every state and conquer the corrugations, ideally from next year. Ms Jackson will make the trip to Victoria on Friday with her sister-in-law Debbie Jackson for the first Conquer to be staged outside of the Cape, conquer the corrugations, on the outskirts of Geelong. The walk will go from Barwon River to Inverleigh and more than people are expected to take part — about the same amount that took part in the inaugural Cape York event.

Conquer The Corrugations event aims to support those that have lost a loved one while raising awareness and striving for prevention. The goal of the event is to raise awareness and encourage people to come together as a community and to support one another. Some of our wonderful Lifeline volunteer Crisis Supporters will be joining in the walk, and we'd love you to join us too! Participants can choose to do just one day or both. Cost: Free to participate, but registration is required Ages: This is a family-friendly event open to all ages.

Conquer the corrugations

In a corrugated station house near the tip of Australia, English-born Emma Jackson is busy serving bacon and eggs to her four hungry children. It's only 8am on a sweltering hot day in the Far North Queensland bush and already she's fed the horses down at the yards, rounded up a recalcitrant bull and completed a salt lick run for the 3, head of cattle on Wolverton Station, in Cape York Peninsula. Emma is no wilting English rose, but she admits swapping Manchester's city lights for a "gunyah in the gully" — the red, tin shack that inspired a John Williamson song — took some getting used to. Emma, her husband Neville and their four children live together in the home that was built by Neville's family more than five decades ago, along with their then-fledgling cattle operation. She ended up in the region after answering a job advertisement for the Archer River Roadhouse and it was there she met her future husband, grazier Neville Jackson, from the nearby Wolverton Station. The family has had to overcome many challenges over the years, like the time Cyclone Trevor tore through the area in or when their son Ryan was bitten hundreds of times by a three-metre scrub python. But all that paled when Emma's year-old nephew, Dillon Jackson, took his own life on the family property. Dillon's mum, Debbie Jackson, who also lives on Wolverton Station with her husband Kevin Jackson, was left devastated. Our lives all changed. In one split second he was gone. Shock, denial," Debbie said. Dillon had been receiving professional help at the time of his death in , but the family will always wonder if more could have been done. Determined not to let Dillon be forgotten, Debbie asked her sister-in-law Emma if something could be done. Emma Jackson started the Conquer the Corrugations charity walk in , a year after her nephew's death.
