It's going to be a long trip. That much we know. Something else we know is that it's going to be tough. Taxing. Draining. Energy sapping. Why-are-we-even botherin-I knew-we-should-have-just-stayed-at-home-where-there's-a kebab-shop-up-the-road-and-a-bottleshop moments are likely to crop up. Gareth and Phil are like brothers from another mother usually, but what if, after three days driving, cooped up in a van Gareth's habit of breathing through his mouth gets on Phil's nerves? Will Anne survive the whole way with two smelly boys without kicking one of them in the throat?
On this page we get rid of these petty things. We release them, let go and breathe again (through our noses!!!)
If we have somewhere to vent all this and get some gee-up from people, a little encouragement along the way, then the dry and dusty kilometres will fly by.
Laid back, easy going, no worries?
NOW WHO ATE THE LAST TIM TAM?
About Me
- Gareth, Anne and Phil
- 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.
