MEET YOUR WALK LEADERS
Dave lives in Hobart with his partner and three awesome boys. He is often found with his arms wrapped around a banjo and leaning into a microphone, or, over a holiday period, pressing up the side of a hill in some old hiking boots with one of his sons cajoling him forward. Dave has carved out a long career in teaching working exclusively in alternative education settings where he has a deep interest in trauma care. He hopes to one day own his own apple press in the pursuit of homemade apple cider. For Dave, strong communities make strong people, and it is to this end that he is motivated to make a difference.
Alistair (Al) is a father of three teenagers and lives with his family where the bush meets the sea in Coningham, Tasmania.

Al has managed large reserves in central Australia, was a founding director of ‘Conservation Management Pty Ltd’ assisting First Nations and other communities with land management and loves building and landscaping, especially with large rocks. Al’s values are family, community and healing others to make landscapes healthier for future generations. He also really likes hanging out with mates and walking!
FAQ
WHY IS THE WALK JUST FOR BLOKES?
It also serves as medicine, enabling blokes to be active, to connect, listen, learn and to share in the walk and building resilience through action. We recognise wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers and mates play an important role in blokes lives and welcome the women in your life to join as a supporter (see ticketing option) or a volunteer (contact bec@spoketoabloke.org).
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
We started Spoke to a Bloke after losing our brother and best mate to suicide. As a team, we work on the charity weekends and after hours, we are passionate about making a real impact. 100% of funds raised goes directly to running the charity, our events and projects to support blokes mental health.
For more information on where the money goes visit our projects.

All walkers have the option of ending their walk at anytime they feel necessary along the course. We encourage you to join us at the end venue to continue conversations and share in achievements together. If you do decide to exit the course, please ensure you let a volunteer or event lead know.
