The two have teamed up with Bicycles For Humanity in Melbourne and Bicycle Empowerment Network (BEN) Namibia, and with the support of their community, friends and family, are working towards raising the AUD $12,000 to ship the container to Africa.

Hap Cameron was born in New Zealand and has for many years pursued his goal of living and working on every continent before he turns 30. With Africa the one continent he is yet to conquer, Hap is close to achieving his goal. Mandy Todd was born in the USA and has also travelled widely, particularly in the Spanish speaking world. She admits that the upcoming adventure in Africa will be the ride of a lifetime.

The documentary will share their travel experiences and examine the positive impacts that the donated bicycles have on the Namibian community.

Bikes for Africa is directed by independent New Zealand filmmaker Richard Sidey and is expected to be released in early 2012. Watch the first trailer here

Beer, Bikes & Bands will combine these three things for one action packed event in support of the Final Continent Expedition.

The Final Continent Expedition is the brain child of Hap Cameron, who set the goal of living and working on all 7 continents before he turned 30. The FCE team has raised $10,000 in support of Bicycles For Humanity in order to send a shipping container of bikes to Namibia. The FCE team will soon leave for Cape Town, from where they will cycle to Namibia to implement the shipping container as a workshop, train the locals to maintain it as a sustainable business which will provide bicycles to the community.

The event will feature live performances by Charlie Lim, PHIA, The Lights, Hazel Boot and a burlesque performance by Miss Kay Risqué. There will also be a raffle and silent auction which will feature items donated by select local businesses. Little Creatures will be sponsoring the event and offering a free brew with each entry ticket!

The event will also feature as a bicycle collection point for Bicycles For Humanity. This is a great opportunity, in a central location, to donate disused bicycles that will go to help those in need in Africa. With every donated bicycle, you’ll get an entry into the raffle!

When: Sunday 29 May @ 5pm

Where: The Workers Club - 51 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

How much: $12

Proudly sponsored by Little Creatures
