Black Dog Ride around Australia 2009
26 July 2009 - 20 August 2009
On August 20th 2009 Steve Andrews completed a 26 day solo motorbike trip around Australia to raise community awareness of an epidemic that is sweeping our country, Depression. This is the story of that journey.
Remember, depression is an illness, not a weakness and effective treatments are available. It's important to seek help early and with the right treatment most people recover. If you are concerned that you or someone you know may be suffering from depression talk to a doctor or another health professional today. If we talk about depression and work together we can make a difference.
