Small Steps. Big Impact
Bay to Base's charity partner is Ronald McDonald House North Australia.
RMCHNA is a local, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for NQ families with ill children.
$5 from your rego goes straight to Ronald McDonald House North Australia helping families stay close when it matters most.
Once you're signed up for the walk, create your very own fundraising page and start rallying your crew — friends, family, coworker and neighbours
We’re aiming to clock up a massive 14,500 kilometres together, which is a lap of Australia!
So let’s go the extra mile and raise $2 per kilometre per person.

Lets keep our trail magic and protect Magnetic Island's National Park's Biosecurity
What is a pest? Any foreign species, and even native Australian species that occur outside their usual habitat, can become pests. Pests can be animals, including ants, birds, plants, algae, fungi and even bacteria
Pest plants are very good at hooking onto the clothes and gear of visitors. Before coming to the island check your gear. Ensure your clothes, socks, shoes, pockets and even the velcro on your backpack are free from seeds.
Make sure you stay to the marked trails and avoid spreading weeds across the island
