The Last Post are a local South Australian based team of veterans dedicated to capturing the untold stories of those who have served. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting with Steven Lockwood to discuss their journey of remembrance and reconnection. Starting this month, three veterans, including Michael Djoric, Jack Rainy and Locky, will set out on a 15,000-kilometre journey around Australia on humble Honda CT110—albeit modified—postie bikes. Along the way, they'll meet with veterans and their families to listen, learn and share their experiences of resilience and life beyond the uniform. These are the stories that deserve to be heard—stories that reveal the strength and the heart that carry our servicepeople through the hardest of times.

The Last Post is for veterans and first responders, their families, and every Australian who believes that service should be seen, heard and honoured. If you would like to donate to this cause, please visit the Australian Cultural Fund and search for 'The Last Post'. Every dollar counts when telling an important message like this. To follow them on their journey, you can find them on Instagram at the_last_post. Lastly, to Lochy, Michael and Jack and their support crew: best of luck, stay safe, and I'll see you all for stepping-off day at 0700 hours on 18 October at the Freeling Coffee Co.
