More than 5,000 spectators lined the streets for the year’s Bangalow Billy Cart Derby, including our awesome team from Northern NSW. The kids from Allambi Care took to the hill with gusto, racing in a range of events tailored for younger competitors. Their excitement was infectious, and their presence was warmly embraced by the local crowd. The derby provided not just a fun challenge, but also a chance for these young people to feel empowered, supported, and celebrated by the wider community.
Our Director of Northern NSW, Lindsay Fish, who was present all day said “This year’s derby was a beautiful reminder that events like these are about more than just racing — they’re about inclusion, community, and creating memories that matter. The Allambi kids didn’t just race billycarts; they raced into the hearts of everyone watching.
