Founder Ewan has worked in aged and disability care since 2007. His pathway into disability support became deeply personal when he employed a young man living with cerebral palsy named Phillip.
Over the years, Phillip and Ewan’s working relationship grew into a lifelong friendship, and the holidays they shared together became the moments Ewan looked forward to most. Those trips (the planning, the anticipation, and the joy of getting out and doing something meaningful) planted the original idea for BucketList Dreamtime. Phillip Brown, a mate who helped shape the heart of what this business stands for.
Phillip showed, through everyday life and the trips shared together, how powerful it is to have the right support to get out into the world and enjoy it fully. With gratitude and respect, Ewan credits Phillip as the inspiration behind BucketList Dreamtime.
BucketList Dreamtime will organise travel to where ever your Bucketlist dreams want you to go. In group setting or Individual trail road trips or adventures, whatever your desire is we will endeavour to make it happen.

Wild Skills Australia provides structured, nature-based capacity-building experiences for adolescents and adults who benefit from practical, real-world learning in outdoor environments.
Sessions are intentionally small and personalised, focusing on confidence, communication, decision-making, executive functioning, social connection, community participation and independence. Activities may include bush cooking, fishing, wildlife observation, environmental exploration, outdoor problem-solving and citizen science projects.
Wild Skills is particularly suited to participants who engage best through hands-on experiences rather than traditional classroom-style settings. Sessions can be delivered one-on-one or in small groups and are tailored to individual interests, goals and support needs.
A developing focus of the program is participation in simple citizen science projects, giving participants opportunities to contribute to genuine environmental observations and community knowledge while building practical skills and confidence.
