Join me Off The Road Again for a cause close to my heart

In 2026, a much-loved charity road trip returns under a new banner: Off The Road Again (OTRA) in support of Momentum Mental Health (MMH). While the name may be new, the spirit of the event remains exactly the same — driven by the same passionate committee, the same familiar faces, and the same strong community values that have shaped the event from the very beginning.

With a fresh start and fresh focus this year, we welcome RACQ and Excavation Equipment as event naming sponsors as we travel off the road again for MMH.

OTRA is the brainchild of Phil Stonestreet of Expedition 10, whose vision and enthusiasm helped bring the concept to life. What started as an idea to bring people together for a good cause has grown into a well-known community event, backed by a dedicated organising committee with decades of combined experience in fundraising, community initiatives, and charitable endeavours.

Each year the event brings together families, friends, businesses, and supporters for a five-day road trip adventure that is as meaningful as it is memorable. Travelling along hidden back roads and through regional gems, participants embrace the journey with plenty of laughs, a bit of fancy dress, and a shared commitment to making a difference.

Funds raised through the event are directed back into the Darling Downs community via Momentum Mental Health, ensuring the impact remains local and tangible.

In 2026, OTRA continues that mission MMH while keeping the focus firmly on community, connection, and supporting a great cause — one kilometre at a time.

At its heart, Off The Road Again is about far more than the convoy or the destination. It’s about shared experiences, generosity, laughter around the campfire, and the powerful things that happen when people come together with purpose.

The road is calling — and we’re Off The Road Again this October!
