Five remarkable days in the Northern Territory have come to an end for Mason Cox, Sam McLarty, Brody Mihocek, Flynn Appleby and other members of Collingwood's travelling party. 

The quartet of players, alongside assistant coach Brad Gotch, visited a handful of schools and no doubt impacted a number of lives during the week-long trip to the Barkly region.

Starting with a trip to the Devils Marbles, the group went on to visit the communities of Newcastle Waters, Elliott, Tennant Creek, Mungkarta, Ali Curung and Murray Downs.

Road trips through flood waters and red dirt roads covered almost 2,000km as the club attempted to reach as many people as possible who live in Collingwood's Next Gen Academy zone.

Collingwood Media captured many heart-warming moments during the trip to outback Australia. You can view the best photos from the camp in the gallery below.

Day two took the team to Newcastle Waters, where McLarty showed students exactly how far the journey had been.

A+ for the effort, Mason.



A bit of hard work to break up the fun and games.
