| Introduction | Going for broke, starting from scratch with nothing at all, not even clothing, we intend to raise the necessary resources, bit by bit, without any cash ever changing hands, to set off on the 25,000km journey from Brisbane, anti-clockwise around Australia, to arrive back at Brisbane. We will discard all our possessions, relying wholly on the kindness of others to provide us with everything we need to navigate around the continent. We work the whole way around, doing as many jobs offered to us as possible and give up every single cent of our wages to Book Aid International. At the end of our adventure we will keep nothing but our footage, pictures and stories. All we've been given, that we have not used, will be auctioned off, with proceeds going towards the promotion of Child Literacy. We will keep nothing for ourselves save the proof that Australians are fair dinkum the worlds friendliest people. |
| Interests | Washing dishes in exchange of soap, wearing a temporary tattoo for the loan of a van, picking oranges for some blankets, mucking out horses for some trousers, raking sand for biscuits, handing out flyers for a feed, being a jill or jackaroo for some petrol, waiting tables in exchange for plates. |
