About going> going> gong!

Going Going Gong was setup by Geoff Olds as part of an original foundation established to run alongside the Technology 360 group. The original idea came from a very long walk Geoff did in the wake of professional and personal crises 10 years ago. Geoff walked from Sydney to Canberra one hot summer week as a way of letting go of the old and ringing in the new.

The experience was difficult both mentally and physically but the end result was beautiful.

In this physical journey and mental journey had occurred - a transformation of minds, and a transcendence of spirit. After-all, what better way to shed emotional baggage and burdens than to spend a week amongst nature, without distractions or technology and plenty of time to think things through.

A pilgrimage is a special journey one undertakes for the search of meaning and purpose and is part of the heroes journey. The test of the physical conditions and the journey emulates life. We are going somewhere and to become lighter and experience freedom we must let go what weighs us down.

After completing the first Going Going Gong in 2019, Geoff organised the event to be setup as an annual event. Alas, COVID struck however in 2022 we walk on 4.11.22!

This year there are 4 of us undertaking the walk with a focus on lightening the load and letting things go. In addition we walk to raise money for our designated Charity.

Here's to life's journeying and letting go of the things that hold us down!
