On a mission to support...

The Toyota Tour de OROC, an initiative of the Rotary Club of Dubbo South, is a unique biennial cycling event running from 6 to 12 October 2025. Covering more than 800 kilometres across the Orana Region, it is one of the longest and most rewarding charity rides on the Australian calendar.

First held in 2013, the ride was established to raise funds for Macquarie Home Stay—an essential accommodation facility for people from regional and remote communities needing medical treatment in Dubbo. Since then, the Tour and the Rotary Club of Dubbo South have contributed over $1 million towards the facility, which officially opened its doors in 2019.

Funds raised through this year’s ride will support the Stage Three expansion of Macquarie Home Stay, which includes the addition of much-needed family accommodation. Your involvement not only helps make this vision a reality, but also demonstrates to government and funding bodies that this is a project backed wholeheartedly by the community.

Rider Bio

I am delighted to be taking part in my 4th Tour de OROC this year to support the amazing work of the Macquarie Homestay, a cause close to my heart, with many of my patients regularly accessing this valuable service. The Homestay makes a real difference to all kinds of people, some in the happiest of times expecting new additions to the family, and others in much more vulnerable times. Tour de OROC provides a great opportunity to increase community awareness of the amazing service they provide, and it aligns with my work at Walgett AMS. It has been a great privilege to be involved from my time working in Dubbo base and the development of the first stage of Macquarie Homestay, through to current times working in a community serviced by the Homestay and their exciting new developments!

Hi Everyone, we are on again for OROC! After Everst Base Camp, its time for something a bit flatter and lower 😂 Hopefully the training still counts. We will be having a dinner at the Sporto in Walgett on Friday the 10th of October with details to come, and will be riding in on the afternoon of the same day, if anyone wants to join us for the last little leg into Walgett I have a few spare bikes so let me know. This year I am privileged to have the support of my employer WAMS for which I am very grateful. Any donations or attendance at thr Walgett dinner function on the 10th October is very much appreciated, please watch this space!

Thank you to my Sponsors
