THE GREAT BARROW PUSH

FROM MARYSVILLE, VICTORIA TO PARLIAMENT HOUSE, ACT

It only takes six and a half hours to drive to Canberra from Marysville. Not for us.

This trip, all up, is around six hundred kilometers, give or take. This equates to around 507,000 steps, stopping at towns along the way.

In September 2025, the team at Trevs Story are planning to take on this challenge in an effort to raise funds to further our mission to save the tradies of Australia. Trev will be walking just over half a million steps, while pushing a barrow the entire way. It won’t be easy, but neither is the struggle against mental illness.

The real questions are why the barrow? Why parliament house?

The wheelbarrow is a staple in the tradie’s toolkit. Whether it’s carrying bricks, dirt, or the apprentice home after a long night out, the wheelbarrow is a tool that every tradie uses at one point or another throughout their life - or every single day. So, what better piece of equipment to use to help carry the load of bringing awareness to mental health and suicide within the trade industry?

And for parliament house - recently, Trev has been in contact with Senator Jaqui Lambie regarding her support for our project, to which she responded that she “would be honoured“ to receive one of our marbles. And, maybe, some others will join our cause along the way. So, what better place to meet than the capital of Australia?
