π HELP PUT MAL BACK ON THE ROAD π
Many of you know Mal Leyland from a lifetime spent exploring Australia and sharing its stories with generations of travellers. What many people may not know is that when Dad was travelling with us on our recent trip, he truly came alive.
Being on the road, meeting people, rediscovering places and sharing stories had a profound impact on his wellbeing and significantly improved his mental health. Travelling gave him purpose, adventure and a reason to keep looking forward.
That's why we're asking for your help.
We've launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $220,000 to purchase a bus and convert it into a fully self-contained motorhome so Mal can travel Australia once again. We hope to hit the road by the end of February when our current lease expires.
But this isn't just about travelling.
While we're on the road, we'll be filming a brand-new Australian travel series inspired by the classic Leyland Brothers adventures. We'll showcase incredible people, amazing places, hidden gems, must-do experiences and travel itineraries from every corner of Australia.
And just like in the old days, we'd love to hear from you. If you know of an amazing destination, a fascinating character or a story that deserves to be shared, send us an email. Your suggestion could become part of the series.
Most importantly, profits from the series will go towards creating the future Mal Leyland Photo Gallery and Museum, helping preserve a lifetime of Australian travel history for future generations.
