NOW in its third year, the Barrie’s Mundal 1000 has once again proved that even the humblest of machines - a trusty Honda ‘Postie’ motorcycle - can drive change.

Finishing with resounding success, the challenge has already raised $77,380 this year for the Kids Cancer Support Group (KCSG), a grassroots charity supporting families experiencing cancer.

According to event co-founder Daniel Manester, this year’s event was extra special and deeply moving, as participants honoured the memory of Barry Manester, one of the original support team members, who died earlier in the year.

“The convoy made its way from Mundaring Weir to Albany and back, traversing 1076 kilometres of bush tracks and back country roads, all aboard their trusty postie bikes,” Mr Manester said.

“From October 26 the riders braved bush trails and backroads before rolling into Albany on October 31.”

The achievement is the result of efforts from event co-founders Daniel Manester and Cobey Brader, along with the Mundal team who rally behind the cause year after year.

The Mundal 1000 has quickly become a fixture in Western Australia’s charity calendar, combining mateship, a love of the outdoors, and the iconic red postie bike for a cause that touches the hearts of many.

Over the past three years, the challenge has donated an impressive total of $150,000 to help support children and families affected by cancer.

“Participants braved tough terrain, unpredictable weather and long hours in the saddle, but spirits remained high as the group powered through scenic bushland, winding rural roads, and small towns,” Mr Manester said.

“The camaraderie among riders was palpable, with everyone united by the shared goal of making a difference in the lives of kids facing cancer.

“Their mantra, ‘little pistons going a long way for charity’, captured the heart of the journey and the determination of everyone involved.”

He said this year’s $77,380 would go directly to the Kids Cancer Support Group and the funds raised will help cover travel expenses, accommodation, and vital support services.
