Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 20:32 · Archive

Former Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan is auctioning a day trip to Rottnest Island on his boat to support Telethon.

Mark McGowan, the former Premier of Western Australia and a former naval lieutenant, is offering a day trip to Rottnest Island aboard his custom-built Lux 8m boat for the highest bidder and four guests at the Telethon Ball auction on Saturday night. McGowan will skipper the crossing to the island, where guests will enjoy a classic pub lunch.

The auction is part of Telethon's annual fundraising efforts to support sick and disadvantaged children in Western Australia. McGowan said in a statement that Telethon is integral to the state's identity and that every dollar raised goes directly to helping vulnerable children. He noted that the organisation has funded vital research, equipment and services that have changed the lives of thousands of local families.

The McGowan boat trip is one of many luxury items being auctioned. Other packages include a dining experience for six under the stars in the Pilbara, including return business-class flights and premium camp accommodation, donated by Hancock Iron Ore. Additional packages feature Western Australia's coastline and wine regions.
