Tom is bringing his Katherine Outback Experience, (horses, dogs and music show) to Boolarra, Gippsland, to raise awareness about bullying with a strong focus on giving children and young people courage and strategies to overcome bullying and to "Speak Up". The show includes a live music performance including a specially written song inspired by "Dolly".
It has been planned for children from local schools to sing "Speak Up" with Tom during the show.
