These just might be the hottest tickets in town right now ...
Michele Quigley - better known to us as Shell Bell - and Leigh Barthomomaeus are preparing for the Abel Tasman trek for Vision 2025.
This 53km venture on a Level 3 hiking track is all to support the work of Vision Australia - and Forbes can get on board and have a blast at the same time with a variety night of entertainment planned to raise funds.
Shell promises the night will be one full of fun and frivolity.
It's all happening on Saturday, February 8, at Club Forbes.
