The Fat Paddler boys have been working hard on their handcrafted vessel...
FAT PADDLERS “Raising some fat bucks in a quirky quest to the top end” Can the City Slickers steal the Top End’s glory? We’re pleased to be supporting a television documentary project following a group of paddling city slickers, Team Fat Paddler, as they drive across the country to compete and win the annual Darwin Lions Beer Can Regatta. For Darwin’s locals, competing in the race is as simple as this: get some friends together, build a boat from beer cans, race across the shallow, protected waters of Darwin’s Mindil Beach, and raise money to support the Lions Club’s charity work. Darwin’s a long way from anywhere so the race has never welcomed an entry from interstate… until now. The team from @fatpaddler will use high-tech naval architecture, good project management and an elite training regime to steal away the prized regatta trophy. Before then, they’ll need to design and build a race-winning beer can boat, recruit and train a crew, and then drive their road convoy more than 4,000km across outback highways to Darwin. Kooks are proud to sponsor the project and Team Fat Paddler will introduce the beer-swilling Territorians to a new concept: high quality wine. 40 degrees in the shade on Mindil Beach…what better time for a chilled Chardy?

PROJECT ROCKIT “Project Rockit believes in a world where respect and kindness thrive over bullying, hate and prejudice and all young people are free to realise their potential. ” Launched in 2006 by sisters Rosie and Lucy Thomas, Project Rockit is a youth-driven movement that aims to create real social change by tackling the issue of bullying in Australian schools. The team has worked with hundreds of thousands of Aussie kids through their school workshops – run by young people that students can relate to. There’s no preaching lecturing or judging, just real talk. With a view that young people are the experts, Project Rockit works with students to come up with safe, cool and credible strategies to stand up to bullying – on and offline. They also tackle other important issues affecting kids, like fitting-in, being different, values, ethics and empathy. Your enjoyment of Kooks, onboard your Jetstar flight is helping the team at Project Rockit to bring workshops to the students who need them the most.

ECOCHICK The Challenge – 900kms across Borneo The Mission – Save The Orangutans. An ambassador for The Orangutan Project, @larashannon recently travelled 900km over 25 days across Borneo Indonesia with 5 other like-minded women, to help save the Orangutan from extinction. Her life-changing journey, including trekking 100kms through the jungle, is captured in The Trans Borneo Challenge - a documentary which highlights how rapid deforestation is threatening the people and animals of Borneo. “I saw a documentary 20 years ago about Orangutans and it changed everything for me. I was working in the media as a journalist and while I loved it, something was not quite right. I felt I wanted to give more back and do more for the world. So I gave up everything and that is when my new life started. I was writing for my website about five women who are taking a great trek in Borneo but soon realised that I should be doing it myself – so I am. We walked across 900km going from the east to the west Kalimantan. The other women are from around the world – the US, UK, NZ and Australia.” Photography @markmunro Follow Lara’s story here ecochickadventures.com facebook.com/ecochickoz twitter.com/larashannon youtube.com/user/EcoChickOz @ecochickadv #kookswines #wine #handcrafted
