I met this bloke a few years ago when he was gearing up for a trip around Oz on a bio-fuel/food scrap powered motorcycle which was developed by some Uni in Sth Australia. He was creating a doco based on his travels..... Always wondered how he went

Genuinely nice bloke

[Rat750]

He lives here in Perth now with his wife and kids.

[Dirty32]

He was recently on a 4 or so episode Doco series about Australia on Nat Geo / Discovery (one of them...), I think.
Cant remember the name of it. Living life on the edge, or something like that from memory.

I know it was TV, but he seemed a pretty likeable character. Read his books too...

The book about the bio fuel bike is out. I just finished reading it....it's great. Just like Don't Tell Mum was.

I'm in for this.

life on the edge. i saw it advertised, but never realised it was him hosting

[Dirty32]

Yeah... He was one of them.
3 people were hosting different parts, 2 blokes and 1 woman.

I am pretty sure he was one of them anyways. 4 or 6 part series about different places / history of Australia.
Not a bad series... Some pretty interesting stuff.

His first book was pretty good... Didnt think the second one was on the same level though, wasnt quite as good.

[baxter]

in like flyn i really enjoyed his books

[Huggy]

Yeah, read his book on the bio fuel lap of Aus. Titles Is that thing Diesel?

Was a good read. He's quite comical and makes the story interesting.

I read and enjoyed his first book, this thread prompted me to look for it on the bookshelf to re-read it and I can't find it.

I seem to recall lending it to someone but cant remember who.

[non_quotidiun]

I read it (on the rigs) when it came out.....then my Mum bought it for me as a birthday pressie (she didn't know I'd already read it).

[ge0ff]

Just bumping this up in case anyone missed it.

[baxter]

[timmay]

Downloaded it on the ipad last night and started reading it.
interesting...
