Frockin’ the Outback

30/10/2026

Who knows where these hobby horses will take us next?

From sorting thousands of dresses to bringing a little chaos and a whole lot of laughter to the Outback.

One thing’s for sure, the FTO team are always up for an adventure.

And now we’re wondering... where will these hobby horses take us in 2027?

Coonamble? Moree? Narrabri? Or somewhere completely new?

Watch this space. We’re not done yet! ❤️

Where do YOU think Frockin’ the Outback should ride into next year? Tell us below!

Meet Iris. 💜
Van #1 of Frockin’ the Outback.
Named after the Iris Foundation, the organisation behind this crazy little mission of ours.
And proudly sponsored by Rotary Dubbo, who helped get Iris on the road and our frocks moving towards the women who need them.
There’s something pretty special about seeing all those bags of clothing packed into a van and knowing they’re heading to women and girls across rural NSW.
This isn’t just a van full of clothes.
It’s women helping women.
It’s community showing up.
It’s a whole lot of frocks with a purpose.
And Iris has plenty of miles ahead of her. 💜
A huge thank you to Rotary Dubbo for getting behind Frockin’ the Outback 2026

Not all angels wear wings… some wear pink & come bearing frocks 💗
We met the Pink Angels in Dubbo and it was one of those instant connections.
Women helping women. No explanation needed. We just get it.
🎀The Pink Angels support women through breast cancer, and when we told them what we were doing with Frockin’ the Outback, they didn’t just cheer us on.
They filled bags. And bags. And bags. Of gorgeous clothing for us to take on the road and share with women in rural and regional communities.
🫶🏼This is what Frockin’ the Outback is about.
Women helping women. Showing up. Sharing what we have. And reminding women that they are seen and supported.
Pink Angels, we bloody loved meeting you. Thank you for getting behind what we’re doing. 💗
If you’re a woman, business or organisation who wants to help us support women in rural Australia, get in touch. There are so many ways to get involved.

We couldn’t be prouder! Congratulations to Paula Hardwick from Because We Care Boutique, who was nominated for Adult Volunteer of the Year in recognition of her work across multiple organisations, and Frockin’ The Outback, represented by Paula Hardwick and Elisha Winship, nominated for a team award at last night’s NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards.

It’s wonderful to see our Iris Foundation volunteers recognised for the incredible work they do in our community. Congratulations to all! 🌟

No trophy. Still a win.
We didn’t take home the Group Award at the NSW Volunteer Awards last night.
Of course we would have loved to hear our name called. We’re human!
But honestly, we walked away with something that could be even more valuable for FROCKIN’ the Outback.
CONNECTIONS.
We met some incredible people doing incredible things for their communities, had conversations, swapped ideas and already have some possible collaborations in the making for FTO 2027.
And that’s what volunteering is really about for us.
Women helping women.
Communities supporting communities.
People coming together and saying, “What can we do next?”
So no, we didn’t get the trophy.
But we might have just found some of the people who’ll help us make FROCKIN’ the Outback 2027 even bigger.
And THAT feels like a pretty bloody good prize to me.
If you’d like to be part of FTO 2027, keep watching. We’re only just getting started.

Want to see where FTO 2027 takes us? Follow along. We’ve got big ideas brewing

Well, this is pretty bloody special! 🥹❤️
Our FROCKIN’ the Outback team has been nominated for Volunteer Group of the Year at the Central Coast awards!
What started with a love of fashion and a desire to help women feel good about themselves has grown into something so much bigger.
From collecting thousands of dresses to travelling across regional NSW, connecting with incredible women and supporting communities that need a little extra love, this journey has reminded us why we do what we do.
It’s never just been about the frocks. It’s about dignity, confidence, connection and women supporting women.
And we couldn’t do any of it without the incredible people who donate, volunteer, support us and believe in what we’re doing.
Tomorrow is the big ceremony, and we’re heading in with our fingers crossed, our hats ready to fly and our hearts full! 🤠❤️
Win or lose, we’re already so proud of what our little team has achieved.
But wouldn’t it be bloody lovely to bring this one home?! 🥂

These frocks have travelled further than most of us ever will. 😂
From the Central Coast to the outback, these clothes became so much more than just clothes.
They brought colour.
They brought confidence.
They brought a little bit of joy to women who deserve to feel fabulous too.
And seeing them hanging out here, along an outback railway line, pretty much sums up FROCKIN’ the Outback.
Clothes can travel.
Clothes can connect.
And sometimes, a bloody gorgeous dress can change how a woman feels about herself.
This is why we do it. ❤️
