Blake has organised a day for Barry's family, friends and the community to celebrate the end of the Shar Jem Gypsy Camel Trek and raise funds for worthy causes at the same time, on Saturday, November 2 at Wingham Showground, starting 10am.

"It's a big family and friends catch up, and also for kids to come along and see the camels", Blake explained.

There will be a barbecue and a gold coin donation box with funds going to two causes very close to Barry's heart.

"Fifty per cent of what we raise on Saturday will go to Canteen and 50 per cent will go to brain tumour research," Barry said on the phone from the middle of nowhere.

The trek is named in memory of two of Barry's life long friends - Sharyn, who died of melanoma aged just 28 years, and her mother Jemma, who died from a brain tumour after Sharyn passed away.

Barry was originally planning to finish the trek, a fundraiser for World Vision, around Christmas, but found the trek becoming too tough due to the drought and fires in Queensland. He has had to finish the trek early and have the camels trucked to Nowendoc.

"What Barry's done has been such a huge adventure and such an accomplishment. I was on the trip with him for 10 days, and just to witness and see what they're doing and going through, it's unreal," Blake said.
