Think Global: Queer Rights and Southeast Asia

By on August 5, 2018 in

While now recognised by the UN and leading democratic states (if still incompletely and often haphazardly), LGBTQ rights are denied in many other quarters.

 

In Southeast Asia, ASEAN has implemented a regional human rights regime, albeit one which declined to incorporate standard global protections around discrimination in relation to sexuality and gender. This talk will examine the themes of identity, visibility politics and rights claiming across a diverse range of ASEAN member state contexts.

Natural Surface Rock Climbing on SA’s BEST cliffs

By on July 31, 2018 in

Experience natural surface rock climbing with qualified employees and quality equipment.  Since 1989, Venture Corporate Recharge has been successfully taking people up and down the best cliffs in South Australia, Victoria, and further afield.

We offer a range of programs for beginners to the more experienced climbers, to go rock climbing and/or abseiling for individuals or groups.

The most popular sites close to Adelaide that we use are the cliffs of  Morialta Conservation Park and The Onkaparinga National Park. Morialta Conservation Park, 15 minutes away from the city is a gorgeous setting with views over the Adelaide Metropolis and St Vincent Gulf are awe-inspiring. Onkaparinga Gorge, south of the city is a wild setting and feels remote, and the views over the Onkaparinga River are fabulous.

No experience necessary – Our guides will provide all equipment, instruction and technical expertise. We set up a variety of climbs for differing levels of fitness and experience, to ensure you get the chance to have fun, ‘top out’, perhaps learn some new skills (or refresh old ones) and push yourself as hard as you wish.

We have climbing days at both Morialta and down at ‘the Onk’ planned for through out the year available to be booked on now.  If you have something else in mind, or want your own private climbing experience, please get in touch and we will endeavor to make it happen.
