Nineteen-year-old teenager Sam Hughes from Maleny in Queensland is on a long slow drive around Australia on a tractor raising money for charity.

The Travelling Jackeroo, as he’s known, has racked up over 8-thousand kilometres since heading off from Maleny early last year.

This week he reached Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley on his way to Broome and then down the WA coast to Perth.

It was quite a sight for locals, towing a trailer packed with a donation tin, fairy floss machine, jumping castle, cinema screen, Suzuki Sierra, and a wingless Beechcraft Musketeer.

The Travelling Jackaroo has been a big drawcard for kids and adults alike as, and he has over 100-thousand people following him on social media.
