The feet are aching, and they’re missing home, but all of the trekkers on the Simpson Desert Hike to Help Jenny’s Place are still going strong.

A third of the way into the journey we caught up with trek leader and Jennyโ€™s Place Community Relations Coordinator,ย Donna George.ย  Donna spoke to Tracy Mac on Newcastle in the Morning thanks to a trusty satellite phone.
