The Bardi bus came into our lives five years ago, driven across across Australia from Canberra in the east via the Nullabor Plain to Fremantle, on the West Coast.

She has played an instrumental role transporting people to the Walkatjurra Walkabout in the Goldfields, to the Karlamilyi walk in the Pilbara, and has never let us down travelling backtracks and highways from Fremantle to Alice Springs and Adelaide and beyond  helping Traditional Owners get to the Aboriginal led Australia Nuclear Free Alliance (ANFA) meetings, along with taking mob across country for gatherings at the Aboriginal tent embassy in Canberra.

Our dear friend the Bardi Bus has also helped families get to funerals, ferried people from the Free West Papua campaign to meetings in the South West, Refugee Action Network to actions in Northam, and helped other conservation and community groups based Perth with their transport around the state.

After five years of these amazing journeys our beloved Bardi Bus needs some love and care. Such a solid member of our wider community needs some attention in order to be able to continue to fight the good fight, connecting communities and city folk together with Traditional Owners and country.

All funds raised will go towards mechanical repairs, new tyres, regestration and insurance.

Our dear Bardi Bus has travelled many back tracks and and out back roads, she has been amazing and never let us down, But the many years of transporting people through remote areas has caught up with her. There is nothing major wrong but she really needs some new tread and a little bit of love and care.

Our real challenge is to keep her on the road so as the amazing Bardi Bus can keep bringing people together from diverse cultures to create a better world together.
