"Unfinished business"

Story by Deirdre Macken
10 December 2004

Wal King - CEO Leighton Holdings

I'm booked in to go heli-skiing and dog sledding in Greenland in April next year. I'm also going to walk the Kokoda Trail next year. I've done it once and want to do it again because it's such a fabulous experience from a geographic and historical point of view. It's of great significance to Australia.

I plan to cycle from Moscow to St Petersburg (not in winter). I have cycled through Morocco, Ireland, France and Italy, and Moscow to St Petersburg is another great cycling tour.

In the following years I plan to do a walk in Peru, go heli-skiing in Canada and go back to the Himalayas to ski. I tend not to look backwards when I've done something. When I've done it, I've done it. And I wouldn't walk on the far side of the moon by myself. Like all things you do, you achieve things with and through other people.
