At the end of the day, if you don't have tickets on yourself, you'll miss out on the show.
Without a doubt, Turia Pitt is one of Australia’s most admired and widely recognised people. Renowned for her pure grit, indomitable spirit and passion for humanitarian work, Australians have taken Turia into their hearts and are deeply inspired by her.
In 2011, age 24, Turia was an ex-model, fitness junkie and successful mining engineer when she was caught in a grass fire while competing in a 100km ultramarathon in Western Australia. She was choppered out of the remote desert barely alive, with full thickness burns to 64 per cent of her body. Surviving against overwhelming odds is the least of her achievements. Turia has gone on to thrive in the ultimate story of triumph over adversity.
Widely hailed as one of the most adored women in Australia, Turia’s “never ever give up” attitude inspires others to conquer their fears and be their best. A favourite with the media, Turia features regularly on national television, in newspapers and magazines, as well as on radio and some of the country’s most popular websites and blogs.
She is a highly sought-after motivational speaker, her courage inspiring people from all walks of life to start living their best life and up their own game.
Turia’s international profile reached new heights after successfully completing the gruelling Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii in late 2016.

Turia was amazing. We are an extremely chatty bunch of delegates but her story just made everyone whisper silent. She certainly reminded me of the importance of embracing the small, mundane moments as much as the big achievements in life.
Simply AMAZING! Turia's presence on the stage captivated our audience. Her ability to overcome the physical trauma of her experience and then battle through the mental and emotional challenges that followed is justly inspiring. Turia was able to share her brave story with connection to our audience, who were completely silent for the duration, until the end when Turia was given a 100% standing ovation. Turia is a truly remarkable human. We would recommend Turia as an inspirational or motivational speaker with absolute enthusiasm.
Turia is an extraordinary person - passionate, indomitable, inspirational, generous. Her desire and commitment to make a difference by demonstrating that anything is possible is unique. Her words and spirit are backed up by a "never say never" attitude, "anything can be achieved" mindset and unbelievable actions. She is one of the most intelligent and motivating people I have had the pleasure of meeting and I am proud to call her a friend.
Turia Pitt is one of the most vibrant and inspiring young women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her zest for life, humility, sense of humour and passion shine so brightly. I am blown away by her courage and selflessness dedicating herself to charity and the lives of others. She is fiercely determined and an incredible speaker, but also so warm and generous with her time. I am so humbled to know Turia and will be forever in awe of her achievements at such a young age.
Turia has so many of the qualities I love and admire. She's inspiring, intelligent, courageous, funny and takes the never give up attitude' to a whole new level! Her passion for life is contagious and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know this truly amazing woman.
Turia is the definition of unique. Above all I know her to be thoroughly disarming - warm, funny, and engaging with a wicked sense of humour. She is a woman of great strength, courage, and character who sets her own course in life, and refuses to take herself too seriously. She makes you feel good about life.
