A very big thank you to the crews at the Australiana Top Tourist Park in Hervey Bay, Oakwood Caravan Park in Bundaberg, the Miriam Vale Roadhouse and Caravan Park, and the Mt Larcom Caravan Park for hosting us for free!
After yesterday’s 115 km ride in temps nearing 40 degrees, today is a cinch. Had my 4th TV news int and two ABC radio int this week. The exposure is great…..let me explain what i mean.
I was stopped on the side of the road yesterday and a woman pulls up in her car and runs over to me and says,
I’ve seen you on TV.
I tell her she confusing me with George Clooney.
She looks incredulous.
Brad Pitt? I then say.
No, she says, we’ve seen you on the TV news, you’re the bloke riding around Australia raising money for kids with cancer, yeah?
Yep, that’s me, the Clooney lookalike, I say smiling.
She grabs a whole heap of coins and throws them in our tin. I call her an angel.
She gets me to take off my helmet and laughs, saying I look more like Peter Garrett!
On the road near Caliope River, 100 km south of Rocky.
Rocky tomorrow…..ahhhoooooooo! 🙂
