Welcoming our Good Natured Ambassadors
We’ve brought together an incredible group of outdoor enthusiasts, including hikers, surfers, bike packers, trail runners, and adventurers of all kinds. Our goal is to shine a light on their remarkable journeys, support their explorations and offer refreshments along the way.
In the upcoming weeks, we’ll be introducing you to each of our Good Natured Crew, so stay tuned. We’re stoked for you to get to know them!
Kate Grarock
Meet Kate. She’s an ecologist, hiker, YouTuber, Speaker and Mum.
Kate is quintessentially good natured from her pure, authentic love for the outdoors to her passion for sharing the enthusiasm with anyone and everyone she comes across. Her Instagram displays the wonderful adventures she frequents, raising awareness for the environment that surrounds us. She believes that ‘if we spend more time outdoors, we see the value in nature and work hard to preserve it’.
Things you might or might not know about Kate include that she has once hiked 700km from Sydney to Mallacoota, using her sleeping mat as a raft for the river crossings and that she was on the previous season of Alone Australia. She aims to inspire others to feel happy and safe outdoors.

Charlie Hamilton
Meet Charlie, a trail runner and a member of our Good Natured Crew. You’ll find Charlie in the mountains, whether it be in Chamonix or the Brindabella’s.
After claiming multiple podiums in trail races across Australia, Charlie is now competing on the world stage. He recently competed in the UTMB OCC claiming a top 100 spot! His unwavering motivation seems to come from his sheer passion for immersing himself in the mountains. He is quick to champion living on Ngunnawal Land recognising all the opportunities it offers for exploration and adventure.
Charlie’s energy is contagious. He described himself as “always close to frothing over”. Checks out when you see all the additional cool activities he gets involved with including cycling and playing in a band. Fun fact about Charlie is that his sister plays for our favourite AFL team – The GWS Giants!
As a true trail frother, Charlie cannot go past Trail Pale Ale as his favourite Capital brew.
Mattie Gould
Mattie’s connection with the outdoors is undeniably strong. For him it is a place for peace quiet and reflection, whether it be out the back on a surfboard, hiking a trail or pedalling on a bike.
Most of Matties adventures are human powered, aiming to leave very little trace on the natural world he is passing through. His quiet, yet curious endeavours find him camping every month with an aim to increasingly include his family on his escapades.
He shares the magical places he discovers through words and photography, letting us into his world of quiet and calm. Mattie’s creativeness doesn’t stop there, rumour has it that he’s a ‘really tight knitter’ and writes poetry.
Favourite Brew? Currently ALC-LESS (as he is having a year off alcohol) but a Summit Session is also enjoyed after a long hike/ ride.
