The group of mates all in their early 20s purchased an ex-school bus and converted it into a rolling home for the purpose of traveling Australia.

The Mellow Yellow bus is not only a vehicle for the boys to explore the nation and tick things off their bucket lists, it is also drawing attention to the important issue of mental health.

The group is filming and photographing their journey while supporting Headspace, a national youth mental health foundation providing early intervention mental health services for 12-25 year olds.

“Along our journey will be promoting encouraging donations for this not-for-profit organisations to help them continue their good work,” the boys said.

The boys have already spent time in Ulladulla and on Saturday will roll into the Ulladulla Plaza and people are welcome to come and meet the crew.

Originally from Grafton, Michael Bell is the co-owner and driver of Mellow Yellow and now resides in Newcastle where he runs a building and construction business.

Team manager Jimmy Callaghan is studying Civil Engineering and Surveying at the University of Newcastle and Pat Brotherson from Brisbane is an apprentice carpenter and property investor.

Andy Callaghan is the youngster of the group and is a Newcastle primary school teacher.

Co-owner and Mellow Yellow driver Nathan James, lives in Grafton and is a bridge and wharf carpenter for the RMS.
