The tour started in Darwin in early August and finishes on Sydney on R U OK? Day on September 11.

Through a simple question the tour aims to raise awareness around depression.

It encompasses 18 community events in regional and metropolitan areas and in five states.

The bus brought information, games and a barbecue to Ollie Robbins Oval with TV celebrities The Living Room presenters Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois.

The initiative started out as R U OK? Day in 2009 and has grown to an everyday occurrence.

Both men and women are affected by depression and other such issues, but men are often the ones who find it difficult to express, said Mr Du Bois.

"Australian men think they need to have this hard exterior," he said.

"They can sometimes think that they're letting people down if they're not ok and that's not the case."

Christopher Harley R U OK? campaign manager said those in rural areas should be extra vigilant of their mates.

"The isolation that occurs in rural areas means you should ask people more often if they're ok," he said.

Orana Local Area Command Duty Officer Gemini Bakos popped down to check out the activities, and a game of cricket, and said the cause is worth supporting.

"It's a fantastic cause, we probably need to educate country regions that suicide occurs and suicide happens," she said.

"Things like this initiate conversation, which is always a good thing."

The aim of the visit was also to raise the number of Conversation Mates in the area.

Conversation Mates sign up to receive handy tips to helping out friends and colleagues that may not be ok.

"It's about putting mateship back on track and we send out brief emails about how to have a conversation and broach the subject of not being ok," Mr Harley said.
