2026 International Women's Day Breakfast

Guest Speaker Heather Swan

Friday 13 March 2026, 7am
@ Benny's Restaurant and Bar, Kidman Wayside Inn

Join Griffith Soroptimists for the 14th annual International Women's Day Breakfast. Enjoy the delicious breakfast and inspiring guest speaker, be in the running for a lucky door prize and numerous raffle prizes, and take in the fabulous atmosphere at Benny's Bar and Restaurant.

We are looking forward to hearing from guest speaker, Heather Swan. 

She’d never mountaineered. She’d never ice climbed. She’d never skydived. She’d never base-jumped. She’d never wing-suited.

She was a corporate executive with no background in adventure or athleticism when she began her quest to fly a wing-suit from the world’s highest cliff. Yet she succeeded in setting a World Record for the highest base jump in a wingsuit, from Mt Meru (6672m) in the Indian Himalaya and remains the only woman in the world to successfully combine high altitude mountaineering and wingsuit BASEjumping.

Heather says the most challenging part of this almost unbelievable achievement – understanding and transcending fear. At a time when we are facing a ‘fear and anxiety epidemic’, Heather’s story and her simple but effective approach to transcending fear strongly resonates and inspires. So much so, she has been invited to share her story at events all over the world.

We are delighted to have Heather celebrate International Women's Day with us.
