He may be small, but by lord he’s handsome. The irrepressible Rick Terkelsen, his beautiful wife Yvette, hosted us as we worked, bogging, sanding, and bogging and sanding Rick’s Catamaran, with Michael Surland. Well fed, entertained, guided with stories and advice, a 20 litre vat of red wine, we loved it in Deeral. The Terkies filled our tank and the jerry cans up, and donated our weeks wages to Book Aid. They also saw us into the coconut trading business, introduced us to what a chain-mail abattoir vest can do, and made sure we were clean and tidy and smelling like beautiful tulips. Top Class Acts all round.
Thanks to Daz Hart who we met down by The Boulders while going for a swim, he was playing an Affrican guitar, and we got chatting. He donated us a CD of his choonz. Thanks mate.
Kelly Higgins calls again, thanks for the interest K-Hig.
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.
