With a five-day break before their next training session, North's players and coaches ventured to Wyndham and Tasmania for the Australia Post Community Camps.

Players visited local schools, hospitals and community centres around Werribee on Thursday.

Brent Harvey was the king of the kids at Wyndham Park Primary, while the likes of Drew Petrie, Majak Daw and Sam Gibson paid a special visit to Mercy Hospital.

"We've met some people who are doing it tough, but they've all got a smile on their face, and there's some genuine excitement to see us which is great - that's why we do it," Gibson told NMFC.com.au.

Coaching seminars and a superclinic are also on the agenda over the next two days.

"It's great to put back into the community here at Werrribee," Kayne Turner said.

"I've spent a fair bit of time playing here at Werribee, but haven't had a much of a chance to get around into the community, so that's really nice to put a bit back in."

The Tasmanian leg began on Wednesday night, with a group setting sail for Devonport.

With the trip south aboard the new Spirit of Tasmania dubbed the ‘Roos Cruise’, there was plenty of activities on board.

The 1996 Premiership Cup also made the journey, as the club celebrated 20 years since the Grand Final triumph in 2016.

It was a pre-dawn start on Thursday for those on the Spirit of Tasmania, as the players began their day with school visits and community visits upon their arrival in the Apple Isle.

Jamie Macmillan, Jed Anderson and Lindsay Thomas paid a special visit to the Tasmania Fire Service, who have been battling large blazes across the state for several weeks.

“It’s been 44 days straight they’ve been burning down here,” Macmillan told NMFC.com.au.

“For us, our life is basically footy, but to come down here and take step outside that bubble, and to see what these guys are doing ... (They are) living in tents for weeks on end and doing it all for us, the community, so it’s good to help out where we can.”

While it was a serious visit, the players got a chance to share a laugh with the firefighters, testing out the TFS equipment for themselves.

“I don’t reckon I’ve been in a fire truck since I was two-years-old,” Macmillan added.

“I was pushing plenty of buttons.”

Schools and footy clubs have also been on the agenda, with players sharing their insights with Tassie’s future stars.

The players finished their day at Blundstone Arena – North’s home away from home – as new Tasmanian members got a chance to select their seat for the upcoming season, while meeting and greeting their heroes from Arden St.
