The places in Adrian Campbell's story
A career can be told as a list of companies or as a list of places. Adrian Campbell's runs from an orchard town on the Goulburn River to a beach village on the south-west coast of Lombok. These are the places, and what happened in each.
Bali, Indonesia
Kuta, Bali
Bali's original beach town, where he bought an 88-room resort at 22 and learned the language that underpins everything since.
Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia
Lombok
Bali's quieter neighbour: Mandalika, Rinjani, the Gilis, new flights from Perth and Darwin, and Saraya at Sekotong.
Queensland
Gold Coast
Where the first company started at 19, where two businesses failed, and where he still holds directorships.
Western Australia
The Pilbara
Iron country in Western Australia, Yindjibarndi land, and a majority First Nations-owned explorer Adrian has helped run since 2021.
Two countries, five places
Adrian Campbell was born in Shepparton, started his first company on the Gold Coast at 19, bought a resort in Kuta at 22, became Managing Partner of an exploration company in the Pilbara in 2021, and now spends most of his time on Lombok, where Kinnara Capital is building Saraya Beach Resort at Sekotong.
Each place has its own page below, written for Australian readers who may know one of them well and the others not at all. Each page sticks to what the place is and what Adrian did there.
