The Roadtrip will be leaving from every capital city, travelling through both regional and metropolitan areas of Australia, so chances are you'll be able to catch us in a town or city near you!

We'll be holding heaps of different events in every state on our way to Canberra. Check back closer to the Roadtrip to find an event near you. We'll tell you what's happening, where it will be and at what time - all you need to do is turn up!

Be sure to check back to find out what will be happening near you! Are you in?
