Day Twenty

Mum picked me up from school and we drove to Balingup Race Course to go for a walk and have a picnic.

Day Eighteen

Mum, Archie and I did a really quick bush walk today and now I feel very tired! We were surprised by a Kangaroo in the bush as he hopped away.

Day Sixteen

When I was on school camp our group did orienteering and were looking for information plaques and hidden treasure with our maps and compasses. We had to do lots of walking, it was really fun.

Day Thirteen

Mum and I did a walk in the bush, it was a longer walk than we planned because Dad and I were talking on the phone and I kept walking. We got a surprise when a kangaroo hopped off in the bush close to us.

Day Eleven

Today Vikki, Mum and I did a leisurely walk around Bridgetown river. The markets were on so we went and had a look at them too.

Day Ten

Today Mum, Archie and I did a walk in the bush near our house. We did a lot of stopping to wait for Archie and looking at the wild flowers.

Day Nine

A quick walk in Bunbury today in between showers.

Day Six

Mum and I did a walk around Donnybrook river today and we saw a family of ducks with some really cute baby ducks.

Day Five

We had a quick bush walk today and saw some Spring wildflowers.

Day Four

We had a big walk around Lake Kepwari where we saw some boats and kayaks.

Day Three

A nice walk in the bush with Dad, Mum and Archie

Day One

Dad and I had a walk around Bunbury

I'm fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

I am taking part in the RFDS Oceans to Outback Challenge. I have committed to walking a minimum of 42km in October, although I hope to smash this!

I want to support RFDS because they do really important work. 

As you may already know, I love everything to do with planes and helicopters, especially the RFDS fleet. I think it is amazing all the different jobs that the RFDS fleet can do, especially the helicopters who can transport small unwell babies so quickly to PCH in their special neo-natal helicopter transport cot. 

Thank you for helping me support RFDS.


Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. For some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away.

This October, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, I hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Every year, the RFDS reach more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’s one person every two minutes!

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to my challenge today!

So far this year
I’ve helped provide...

Life-saving medical chests image
