Beach to Bush

Our Beach to Bush program is an extension of our Cycling Without Age Sorrento program; taking the same simple idea – that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience connection, participation and the freedom of being on a bike into regional communities.

We see so much joy in reaching unserviced areas and giving seniors and people with limited mobility the opportunity to get back on a bike, often for the first time in years, or ever.

Our inaugural trip to Kalgoorlie in May 2025 saw us provide rides for 200 seniors, people with disability and others seeking better social connection within the beautiful Karlkurla Bushland Park. Since then, we have continued to return to the Goldfields and extend our reach into more smaller regional communities.

Beach to Bush is designed for communities where establishing a regular Trishaw service is simply not viable. We deliberately seek out smaller and more remote communities where the ongoing provision of specialist trishaws and the volunteers needed to operate them regularly would be difficult to sustain. We know these communities have strong and generous volunteer networks, but their volunteers are often already working at capacity. Beach to Bush allows us to bring the experience to these communities without asking local volunteers to take on another ongoing commitment.

The true value of this work lies not in the ride itself. The trishaws are simply the vehicle we use to create meaningful opportunities for connection and participation.

Through our rides, passengers are able to access social spaces that may otherwise be unavailable to them – reconnecting with their community, their surroundings and the people around them.

Because we all deserve to remain socially relevant, connected and included, no matter how remote we are or how small our community may be.
