Cruise getaway — Day 2.

Today was all about Drew, celebrating his 26th birthday out on the water.

From morning ocean views and games on the deck, to pool time, basketball, and plenty of laughs throughout the day — it was non-stop.

We wrapped it up with dinner, birthday cake, and of course the dance floor.

Big day all around 🤙

A few highlights from the recent cruise with the mates.

We’ve been going through all the footage and putting together a full wrap-up of the trip.

From Tuesday, we’ll be sharing it across four parts — one for each day.

This is just a little preview of what’s to come 🤙

Cruise trip — part 2.

Last post we shared some of the mates talking about their favourite moments from the trip.

This time, we went around the table with the support workers on the last night and asked the same thing — favourite part of the cruise, and one simple question…

Would you come back again?

No script, no prep, just honest answers.

More from this trip coming soon 🤙

First post from the cruise getaway with the mates 🚢

On the last night, we pulled out the mic at dinner and went around the table asking everyone about their favourite parts of the trip — no warning, no planning, just whatever came to mind.

What came out was exactly why we do these getaways in the first place.
Plenty of laughs, a few honest answers, and some moments that say more than we ever could.

Got a lot more footage from this trip to come, but this felt like the right place to start 🤙

Another good day in the kitchen with the mates.

Lots of chopping, mixing, cooking, and a fair bit of teamwork along the way — plus a few laughs and a little bit of chaos too.

These sessions are all about doing something together, trying new things, and enjoying the moment.

Already looking forward to the next one 🤙

Happy birthday to our Mate Drew

You're an absolute legend and we all love having you around. The place is never the same without you, your jokes, the random accents, and the way you keep everyone laughing always brightens the day. You bring big vibes to the group and it honestly wouldn't be the same without you.

See you on the Carnival dance floor 🛳⛴🚢

Movement really does change everything.

We kicked things off in the gym with Mark Minichiello and finished the session with boxing training with Margot Smith.

Lots of energy, plenty of laughs, and the crew pushing each other the whole time.

It’s not about perfect form — it’s about showing up, getting involved, and backing your mates.

Always a good day when the gloves come out 🤙

Growth doesn’t always show up in big milestones.

Sometimes it’s the small things — speaking up in a group, ordering your own meal, or giving something new a go.

When those moments start stacking up week after week, you begin to see real change.

More confidence.
More independence.
More belief in what’s possible.

That’s what it’s all about 🤙
