Join us for an engaging event addressing the important topic - Men's Mental Health.

In 2006, Todd Russell was trapped nearly a kilometre below ground after the Beaconsfield mine collapse. Most people know how the story ends; this is about everything that came after.

Join us at the Myrtleford Memorial Hall for ‘Beyond The Beaconsfield Mine’, a candid and engaging talk from Todd, sharing what the experience was like, what followed, and how he’s navigated life since.

It’s a chance to hear the full story, not just the headline moment, and to spend an evening with others in the community around something that resonates beyond the event itself. Funds raised from the event will support Tony’s Trek 2026 – Paddle for Awareness, raising mental health support for emergency services personnel through the Emergency Services Foundation.
