Leaving footprints in the Sand, Mowbray park, Burleigh (2025)

Every year at the end of Mens Mental Health week, since 2019 we have proudly brought to the community our Annual Soft Sand Tyre Pull, along the beautiful beach front of the Gold Coast. Starting fromBurleigh at the Southern End of the Gold Coast to the Spit on Main Beach we come together to make our way through 18kms of Sand, Wind, Sun and Adversity to take on a gruelling walk of Strength and Togertheness wearing a Harness to Pull a Standard Car tyre. By our nature, once all our other basic needs are met, we as humans always seek to be better, we need to feel like we are progressing and moving forward. The nature of this event is that regardless of our ability, we are physically moving our bodies forward to an end result every year we start this event, culminating in our end goal or key target result- to reach the finish line and release the weight/ burden we have carried for so far. When this physical movement mirrors our psychological desire the result is a feeling of fulfilment, that we are doing what we are designed to do, that we are ‘finding ourselves’ through the struggle of pulling a weight, a burden behind us. The peak of this would be when we achieve our goal, get to the end and the knowledge that we have somehow realised our potential is what brings the feeling of satisfaction. The Western World has progressed massively; our lives are much more public through social media and in a society in which a large part of it’s financial structure is based on acquisition rather than production what we have has become a real focus. In a world where how we look and what we possess have become key indicators to success, ‘getting away from it all’ and ‘just being’ allows us to refocus on just being ourselves, on self-actualising away from the expectations of others. This event is for you, its your opportunity to allow yourself to remember who you are, who you want to be, what you have been through and how truely amazing you really are. These events are co-ordinated in collaboration with The Big 3: Strive, Thrive, Live, Child Safe Australia and Positive T- Shirts.

Mens Sheds and Leather.

When it comes to Men's Sheds the mind can wander to what actually goes on inside these places of many trades?

Jim, Kevin and Terry down at Beenleigh District Men's Shed where telling me about a couple of special projects but none more amazing then helping modify and make an addition to a wheel chair with a Lower Extremeity Amputee Support to make freedom of movement and community access more comfortable.

Here, I am handing over some donated leather work tools. I know right! Yes, repairs and custom leather work, donated lawn mowers are reconditioned and given to community members as well as working in the metal shop.

If you or someone you know has a skill they would like to learn or utilise what skills they have and connect with like minded males, then I could not recommend finding your local Men's Shed enough.
