Please join us at the Rainbow Hotel tonight from 6pm to celebrate two remarkable Fitzroy local lads!! Cezary (19) and Leo (18) are bike-packing 15,000 km around Australia, and to date have raised well over $100,000 to build a school in impoverished Timor-Leste.
Whilst travelling across this vast continent the boys are also producing a documentary exploring the cultural and ecological significance of birds in Australia.
Cezary and Leo are expected to complete this massive undertaking riding back into Melbourne and Fitzroy this Friday arvo.
All welcome!! Come raise a glass🍾🥂 and chip in a little for this superb cause if you are able!
