Hi Aunty Bird - I'm in the CQ office with Dad and I have seen you on the computer. You "look like Aunty Bird and that man in the back looks like Giggle". "I know Brad and Louise too". Love you Aunty Bird. Brody xxxxx
Hi Guys and Girls, just sitting in my office with the AC on, dealing with a cramp in my toe....... Hope day one of trekking has gone well, I'm realy thinking how great you peeps are for what you're doing for the kids and families back home. Anyone can say, 'I wish I was there', but I realy do wish I was experienceing what you guys are!! Stay Safe and upright
Glad to see the usual shenanigans!!! Just wondering if there has been a "Donna Down" yet?? Really wish we could have been there with you & look forward to following your trek here. Stay safe. Love Queen
When I stop and pause, it is trying to understand the enormity of the groups commitment and effort, and I reckon u might now say the fund raising was the easy part.
Stay safe and \Lou I knew that would be u asleep on the ground
It is so nice to read your blog each night, and hear of your adventures. Congratulations to you all making it through your first day of trekking. You are all truly wonderful and inspiring people. and to beautiful Donna, I am so glad you didn't hurt yourself when you went down the hole. But....it really would have been disappointing if you go "down" at some point. Hope Sharky managed to get it, and the rescue on film!!
Love to you all xoxo Mum Fulmer xoxo P S Big hugs to my baby, hope he is picking up after himself!!
Wow!!! Sounds like a tough day trekking!!! That was not the "Donna Down" I was expecting. Something a little less dramatic would have been fine. Glad you are OK.
oh my goodness, thank god you are all ok. Stay away from those holes! Imagine the paper work I would need to fill out if anyone got hurt. Donna, did you take some incident reports..... Thinking of you all, a worried (but very proud of you all) Michelle.
Sending all our love and players, we know how amazing you all are especially our beautiful Ali, Donna & Rhi. Take care and look after each other!! Maybe Ali and Rhi shouldn't follow Donna too closely just in case she finds another hole! So proud of you all, the boys send a big kiss to Aunty Ali xxxxxxx
Loving the blog, it makes us feel like we are a little closer to the action, keep on keeping on, so glad they retrieved you from the hole Donna, don't follow her too closely Rhiannon! When the going gets tough the tough get going xoxo
Thanks Don for the update, so great to be able to follow you all. Hope Jackson's feeling better. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Hugs & kisses to you all, especially our Rhiannon xxxx
Hi, really enjoying following the updates and knowing what my friend Kylie has been up to. Thought it was time for a joke of the day to lift your spirits:- One day two men were trekking through the jungle and came across some Orangutan poo. One man said "what is that?", "They're special and very rare smart pills" said the other man. "Eat them and they will make you very smart". So the man ate them and said "Yuck, this just tastes like poo" he said. "See.." said the other man, "your'e already getting smarter"!
Stay safe everyone. I need Kylie to return in one piece because I don't have many friends ;) Rachel xx
Hi guys! We are loving the blog! Reading it every day! Just amazing what you are all accomplishing! Stay strong, walk hard! Take care of Rhi!!! Love Josh, Kel and Marli xxx

Hi Rhiannon, Hope your enjoying the trek even though it would be extremely hard at particular times. I know you can keep pushing on :) Sam and Max are missing you but they were so excited when Jordans ute came to our place, they jumped straight into the back of it just like they use to with Dad :) we cant wait to take them to the river but we want to wait for you to get back before we do :) I sent you a photo, but wasn't sure if you would get it.. A big Hello to everyone on the trek, hope there are not too many injuries and you all are still in high spirits. Love to you all, especially Rhi Rhi, Ali & Donna xoxo
Hi Louise --- We hope you are enjoying the trek , but going by the blog it's hard going with the extreme heat over there - bet the river feels good at the end of the day --- hope you haven't had too many injuries yet --keep your spirits up and just keep going, we know you can do it--give our best to the rest of the crew and see you when you get home with all your wonderful stories ---love Sis xxx
Sending you all a big cuddle!!! The trek sounds like hard hard work! Lucky they sent such a hard working bunch of amazing people to tackle it!! Missed you today at Freddy's birthday Ali!! We still have a full bottle of Chandon on ice after the party!! Can you believe it!! We can't! Love you honey! Your five biggest supporters, Cheeks, Sam, Oz, Fred & Haz xxxxxxx
Hello Donna, Ali, Rhiannon and fellow trekkers keep up the good work you are all doing a great job. RV we're trying hard to sell Jordan's car but so far no inquiries :( stay safe and big kisses to you all xxxxxx
Hi all! It's great reading the blog. However I feel a bit lazy. All I have been doing is sitting around putting finishing touches on a tiny human in my belly. They say labour and birth is the most painful experience ever, but I'm thinking I might read the blog during the whole thing to imagine you all on that horrid track! At least birth doesn't take more than a day or two. I'll be really surprised if my legs get all cut up and hopefully I'll be indoors out of the burning sun, but I won't talk to soon... You know I do things a little differently to most! You are all freaks, in the nicest sense of the word, choosing to put yourselves through this trek, but it's awfully admirable to put your own bodies on the line for CQs amazing kids. We all know the impact the work of CQ has on the kids for the rest of their lives. A silver lining of sorts. Trek hard. Special hello to a familiar bare bum, Azza. It's hard work, all that camerawork you do. It was even difficult from an air conditioned car. You are amazing! To the rest of you, keep those legs strong! Al and Don, will let you know as soon as Baby is here!! Love, strength and resilience to you all, Kirby xo
Hi everyone, love the blog Donna, lucky the blisters are on your toes and not your fingertips .....or are they!! You’re all doing an amazing job and I'm very lucky to know most of you. I was thinking last night about the guys I do know and what you would be feeling at this point..... It’s hard to imagine!! Ali, thanks for the sleep in's, you're missed at the gym and in Newy....like all your trekking buddies. Tried to post on hump day, but found it didn’t work from my IPhone. Bring on the next blog. Keep smiling x
Hey guys, Wow,sounds very tough, much tougher than kokoda and makes me feel very lazy... Good to hear somethings never change with Donna Down and Throbbing blistered toes, mmm fun.... You are all amazing and getting closer to that finish line keep it going!! Ali,all good here at the bay,being well looked after between Bella Beans,the Tavern and Crust pizza. Love the updates, Rest up and Trekk on!! Craigels XX
Hi everyone, Michael's piece of advice for blisters ... urinate on the blisters it is supposed to help!!! Keep up the good work, your all doing a great job xxxx
Wow Aunty Lou..what an incredible + testing experience. So proud of your commitment to such a worthy cause + all the blood + sweat you're pouring into it. Come home safe xx
How amazing are you all. On the downhill run now, hopefully massages will be a plenty for all those tired aching bodies. Thinking of you all constantly.
Hi guys, just loving the blog it's so great to hear and see what you are experiencing. Your a wonderful bunch of people who are to be admired for what you do. Sending love and thoughts to Ali from the pf office. Simone x
Wow what a wonderful experience it must have been to meet the ring lady. Looks like a pedicure may be needed upon your return. Keep up the good work, love to you all xx
The weeing on blisters part, really does work - Matt tells me all the gymnasts do it. Too much info I know. Another remedy is tea bags wrapped over the blister and left over night. The tenon from the tea fixes it. So just pop down to the cnr shop and pick up some earl grey...... Thinking of you all, you are just amasing. Nearly there!!! Michelle
Hi guys, ouch those are seriously bad looking feet, best you leave those behind. Good luck tomorrow guys bring it home like Correio!! I must say I am really surprised that Ali could be picking on u all,I have never experienced... aah well if not in Borneo, u are missed at the bay...
Great work guys. Sounds very character-building especially with the heat and humidity. Trust the spirits are high how you are on the home run. Carol I hope you aren't one of the snorers !! All's well on the home front. Fridge is just about empty. Zac's getting fat. Love you, and enjoy the rest of the trek.
Doing an amazing job Team and have really enjoyed the updates. Looks and sounds tough and can only imagine the emotion and pain you must be experiencing. Good to read your blog update Ali and I'm sure you will continue with your true strength and leadership within the team.
Take care and try and enjoy the remainder of the trek.
Great job on the blog today Ali, all our love and support to Donna, she is such a trooper. Congratulations each and every one of you, you are all such beautiful people to raise the much needed funds for camp quality and to go above and beyond your comfort zones for the kids. Love and kisses to all, thanks for looking after my gorgeous girl xoxo
You guys are absolutely amazing, the blogs have been great, how sad what the POWs endured, big Hi to Holly, your doing us proud. Enjoy your well earned break at the end of it all Cheers Janelle xo
Hi to all the team and mostly my sister Louise---Your blog has been just wonderful, it gave everyone an insight into what you have been though over there --there are only a certain type of people that can do what you have done and you have proved that for sure--I'm sure the x/POWs would agree ---see you when you get home ---- Dor xx
