North Star

Lachlan was a High Risk Searcher for the Australian Defence Force in Afghanistan, responsible for finding Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's) in order to protect his his fellow soldiers and any Afghan citizens who might unwittingly come across these bombs. Today he is the owner of "His Boy Elroy" and founder of "Bar Stool Brothers", a men's mental health community. But there was a journey to get between those two places. It wasn't easy. But he did find his North Star again.
