It’s been a hot minute and the last 3 weeks have been, well… wow… so much has happened!
Brooke and the crew have been hitting the road, connecting with communities, raising awareness for mental health, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s the latest from the WA home stretch:
Blue Trees, Big Talks & Katherine Connections
The week began with a blue tree 💙 — quiet but powerful, symbolising the mission and the conversations that matter most.
Something was brewing… “keep your eyes peeled 👀” was the hint. A scorcher 🔥☀️, but the crew got it done ✅ Brooke shared a reel here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DM6eyMlzvOa/
Highlight: speaking to future leaders at Katherine School of the Air — raw, real, and powerful conversations about mental health. Massive love to the school for leaning in with open hearts and big questions.
Brooke’s mum and Dan headed off, and Suz put out a call for help with WA transport:
“Alrighty fam! I need YOUR help! Does anyone know anyone in WA transport? Need support with our car over the weekend…”
Brooke carried a door for 1.7 km — “forearms COOOKED.” Another roadside memory: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNHq3iWxnY0/?img_index=1
“Every step is another door opening — to conversations, to change, to hope 💙.”
Akubra came through too — after hitting 500 tags on Brooke’s reel, they donated $5,000 to the Blue Tree Project! Post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNHgqpNTteG/
Back in WA: Fun Runs, Uncle Rex & Gibb River Road
Brooke crossed back into WA with a Friday community fun run in Kununurra, greeted by local legends. A special moment with Uncle Rex: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNU1mGIxD1e/?img_index=1 Instagram recap: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNE_SCCzEZq/
The crew then entered the legendary Gibb River Road — dust, sweat, laughs, and memories all around.

Broome, Baking & Back to Karratha
