The portrait of me was painted by a good friend for my 90th birthday when I raised $35000 for DorcasACTS which is the caring and sharing community service of my local church, the Aspley Uniting Church.

On my 95th I intend to treble that figure so that DorcasACTS can expand its good work of making cash grants direct to bank accounts of people in crisis situations.

Accompanied by friends, I will walk for eleven kilometres around Uluru, a mountain that I regard as the spiritual heart of Australia.

I will be proud and grateful if you can join my team of donors and remit a tax deductible gift direct to the DorcasACTS bank account. Here is a link.

May I especially invite you to take one extra step and also sign up to walk with me around Uluru. 33 friends have already registered to join me on my 3 hour walk when we will reform the entire world as we chat all the way.

If you have an extra busy schedule, you can do it in two days.

Fly to Uluru on Sunday morning, 4 October, join me and my walking team for dinner, walk with us around Uluru at day break on Monday, 5 October, enjoy our ‘we did it’ lunch, then get an afternoon flight home.

Just go back to the link above and click Register.

Whatever you decide to do, let’s together enjoy a personal spiritual experience that encourages us to help Australia become a more caring and sharing nation.

See you at Uluru on 5 October.

5 OCTOBER 2026 (NOT 2025). MARK IT IS YOUR DIARY AS EVERALD’S 95th BIRTHDAY WHEN YOU WILL WALK ELEVEN KILOMETRES WITH ME AROUND ULURU TO HELP ME RAISE 100,000 DOLLARS FOR ‘DORCAS ACTS’, A CHARITY OF WHICH I AM PATRON.

My hope is that 100 friends will join me at ULURU on a WALK IN THE SPIRIT and each set a goal of funds they will raise personally for Dorcas ACTS.

I hope that another 1000 friends, scattered all over Australia, will do a ‘symbolic’ ULURU WALK IN THE SPIRIT of eleven kilometres in a rural setting somewhere near where they live and invite friends to walk with them, setting a target of funds they will raise for Dorcas ACTS.

I have chosen ULURU as it is in my view the spiritual heart of Australia set in the centre of our continent as the cornerstone of the land on which we live and move and have our being. My hope is that my walk will be a spiritual experience for us all, something similar to the Camino Walk in Spain.

About six weeks from now, DORCAS ACTS will open a special website on which you can sign up to participate and choose the type of accommodation we can reserve for you as well as record your attendance at a DINNER with an Uluru Elder the night before the Walk to learn about the place of ULURU in the Dreamtime, as well as your presence at a BRUNCH at the conclusion of the Walk to share our experiences and hear messages from fellow walkers all over Australia.

For now, just send me a message containing your email address and saying you are interested in taking part. You will then receive an email from Dorcas ACTS when bookings open. You can send the message right now on my website, everaldcompton.com, or by direct message on Twitter or Facebook. If you have my phone number, just send me a text.

I look forward to sharing a special experience with you on 5 OCTOBER 2026 as we WALK IN THE SPIRIT and raise funds for Dorcas ACTS so it can continue, as it has done for 15 years, to send cash grants direct to people in crisis situations.

Shalom

Everald
