Important business update:

Hi my wonderful people 🦊 Voksy here, as many of you know I suffer from ASD and also complex post traumatic stress disorder from assault in 2015.

Shortly after becoming homeless, on 21st March 2022 I was approved for disability support pension. This was the biggest lifesaver for me, it allowed me to continue a safe and peaceful existence either homeless or couch surfing.

Before this, I was approved for the NDIS on 31st January 2022. At the time, I lived a simple existence living on-site at a business I worked at for many years, owed to the generosity of my old boss.

Homelessness journey saw me bounce from there to Leichardt (Bendigo), to Castlemaine where I live with a lovely gentleman named Mr Max (who I owe his generosity and support for me starting Flying Fox Chauffeur).

My business has grown from the support of my passengers leaving reviews on Google, recommending me to friends and family, while I navigated a new, scary world of being a chauffeur. I aimed for excellence, and I wanted it to be the kind of service I would feel comfortable and safe using.

As my business grew, so did my need for support. Chronic fatigue, brain fog, feeling like I had barbed wire lodged in the core of my brain while my nervous system feels like 2,000 volts is hooked up to it. I am in significant pain as a result of stress and I am stressed by admin — particularly calendar management, calculation of travel time or custom trips. My phenomenal support workers Dave and Suzanne were by my side as the pain grew stronger in correlation to my business.

Right now the Flying Fox is under threat as my NDIS funding was cut significantly from what I was utilising. Their reasoning was that I am clearly healed and able to run a business, therefore I don’t need their help. I love optimism, only when met with an equal dose of realism…

We have requested a review of this decision, but knowing the history of NDIS reviews, this effort is futile. The next step would be pursuing the Administrative Review Tribunal but this would take one year from when the NDIS review my request for a review. — I am looking at my options for continuing this business and I may need to reduce my capacity.

—

I’m assessing my options right now.. I don’t know what the future looks like for Flying Fox, I just know I don’t want to sacrifice the care and attentiveness to detail that sets me well above my competition. I do fu***ng great work despite the mental conditions I fight against every day.

Thanks all for reading and your understanding while I work through this. I didn’t choose to have ASD or to be victim of violent assault, but I do choose to fight, thanks for your support ♥️

With 2025 coming to a close, I again express my thanks to everyone who has given me a go. There are plenty of other options for getting from point A to B so it is incredibly humbling every time I have the joy of driving someone.

There were quiet and hectic months throughout the year. Plenty of times I had to refer drives over to Castlemaine Flyer due to clashes with other drives — I don’t charge a booking fee to them when I do this, it is purely coming from a need to do right by my people whether it’s first time or returning passengers.

I had the privilege of driving glowing couples to their weddings, and offering the calm comfort to those who needed it most from Samadhi Wellness Spa Health Retreat near Daylesford to Melbourne Airport and into Epworth Richmond. Additionally offering care and support through NDIS transport and assistance with social participation.

The newly acquired Lexus has already proven the rumours that it is the most expensive Lexus to own as the rear air suspension is failing, costing $6,000 in parts for two air struts. I need about 30 airport transfers to pay for parts so hopefully next year is a busy one!

I don’t have marketing material attached to my car, and I can’t without destroying the image of luxury and discretion, so please if you’ve enjoyed my driving or want to help a small business out, share this post, and leave a review on Google saying where you went from and to and the quality of my service. Flying Fox Chauffeur Service would love your feedback. Post a review to our profile. https://g.page/r/CaLXPPSz1RfMEBE/review

Thanks everyone have a great New Years ♥️

My first Melbourne CBD to Tullamarine airport transfer this morning! Very fortunate timing that I was based in Melbourne with family the night prior to offer this drive at a reasonable price — at $74 it would be slightly less than cost to drive in from Castlemaine.

If I was able to drive for Uber or do unbooked (taxi) fares it would open up the business to Melbourne, but for now it’s best to cross fingers and hope I can offer my service at a competitive price.

No chocolates included at $74 but a smooth and comfortable ride with one of the best chauffeurs in the industry is guaranteed 🦊

I hope all my lovely people have had a marvellous xmas and a safe and happy New Years ahead!

Vale Sean Kenan. One week ago our gorgeous town of Castlemaine lost an artist who graced the streets every day with his profound wealth of Irish tunes on fiddle and banjo.

Sean taught me how to play fiddle in a few hours when I was 7 years old. It was the first Guildford Banjo Jamboree I went to with my dad and I recall Sean being obsessed about my natural ability to hear a tune and play it by ear. He said to my dad that he needed to buy me a fiddle and if I ever wanted lessons, he gave us his card.

Dad bought me a cheap fiddle from ebay once we were home in Cranbourne. It was so loud and shrieking sounding that I would put garden pegs and blue-tack on the bridge to dull the harsh sound. The fiddle didn’t last too long but it stuck with me in my mind forever. I remembered the tuning and would play it in my head along with music on the radio.

I next saw Sean when I was 29. I had become homeless and ended up living in Bendigo region shortly before finding refuge in Castlemaine. Sean said that I looked familiar and I reminded him of my fiddle lesson when I was 7. He remembered exactly who I was and even remembered my old name.

A friendship grew immediately and more recently we would jam in the underpass of the Castlemaine railway station for the lovely acoustics. Sean would joke that after dedicating his life to music and perfecting his craft, look where it got us.. Playing tunes in the sewers.

I felt so humbled that one of Australia’s best irish fiddle players loved my playing and wanted to have me as accompaniment. His encouragement and kindness towards me and my music was so brilliant, it was finally a joy to play music as I don’t play alone.

I am heartbroken of the passing of my great friend. Thank you Sean for being the reason I now play violin, and for playing such a vital role in so many others music journeys, let alone your contribution to the arts in other areas and your fighting for justice and what’s right.

Thank you Thompson Family Funerals for what was a truly fitting ceremony to celebrate Seans life and to Five Flags Campbells Creek for hosting us for a much needed jam session.

Vale Sean Kenan.

G’day everyone ♥️ if you’ve enjoyed your drive with Flying Fox Chauffeur, it would mean the world to me if you could leave me a review on Google or Facebook! https://maps.app.goo.gl/yhP7XJMFPXx8FXts7?g_st=ipc

It’s reviews on Google that help show me to more people and enable my business to grow, and is the greatest gift you can give to a small business owner.

Steadily have had more and more bookings to Melbourne Airport, and also custom trips such as from Samadhi Wellness Spa Health Retreat in Glenlyon and a few weddings recently. It’s so humbling to play a part in what is a major life event for someone in a positive light.

Thanks all, keep well and back to Melbourne Airport I go!

I’ve just had my longest chauffeur booking! 483km pickup at Strawberry Fields music festival in Tocumwal, returning to Bendigo Airport.

Some of the worst kept roads and the new Lexus handled everything that was thrown its way! I’m really grateful people consider booking with Flying Fox for transport in regional Victoria

One very happy passenger and another reminder that I’m doing the right thing 🦊

21/11/2025

The new Lexus LS460 is almost in service! Flow Brackets in Bayswater have removed the stock Japanese licence plate plinths and installed their custom designed stand-offs for the FLYFOX plates from VicRoads Vplates.

I cannot speak more highly of Flow Brackets and to my fellow car enthusiasts I highly recommend their work.

Still awaiting a full interior and exterior detail and ceramic coating with ADZ Auto Detailing, and registration with CPV and Melbourne Airport to allow me to pickup passengers in the exclusive chauffeur parking bays.

Not long to go but so far of friends and family I’ve driven, the reviews are that it’s the most comfortable car they’ve had the pleasure of being driven in!

More updates to follow and thank you to the couple wedding driver bookings that have come my way! If you’ve enjoyed your experience, please remember to leave a review on Google for Flying Fox Chauffeur as it really makes a profound impact on helping small businesses get discovered in Google search ♥️ 🦊

Congratulations to Cazzy and Tim on their wedding day ♥️

Originally set for the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens until rain hit the radar, so a last minute change to Boomtown Winery to host the ceremony along with the reception.

I get the easy job of being the stress-free wedding driver who drives slowly and smoothly from A to B, a job that comes naturally to me.

Looking forward to doing more wedding drives and playing this small role in what is a momentus day.

For those looking to book Flying Fox Chauffeur for a wedding car, I have half-day and full-day rates along with custom quotes depending on your needs.

A worthy upgrade to an already exceptional service. Flying Fox welcomes the Lexus LS 460.

Experience unparalleled comfort and quietness with a suspension that absorbs the worst that Calder freeway can throw.

For my passengers regularly travelling from Maldon and Bendigo to Melbourne Airport will be duly impressed with this newly acquired limo.

Looking forward to sharing this beautiful new vehicle with you all!
