I grew up as a kid on a farm growing small crops--beans, zucchinis, button squash.
We worked pretty hard as kids.
Had horses and dogs and all sorts of animals.
I've always had the bug to travel Australia.
Love fishing and diving and all the rest of it.
And I think that stems from my dad.
God love his soul; he's gone now, but he got us right into it.
So I've been travelling all over Australia myself.
I first met Jase on jetskis.
Jase had a jetski hire business, and I had my own jetski.
And we used to pass each other on the river and give each other a bit of a sly sort of
'how you goin', mate?'
Before I hooked up with Jase and started doing All 4 Adventure, the farming days had long gone,
so I was just driving a tractor.
I got my own slashing business.
So I was just out in the bush cutting grass, and I don't do that anymore.
Now I just travel Australia and wreck ATVs.
Nothing to see here.
Oh no.
One of my most vivid memories and special memories for me of hooking up with Jase and
getting out there was he took me up to the Kimberley, and we headed out to the Drysdale
River up past Don's old camp.
And I'd never really caught a barramundi before.
And we started trawling some lures deep, and I caught my personal best ever barra.
Oh that's a big barra!
My hands are shaking.
He's shaking.
Oh, he's a good fish!
Oh look at that.
What do you reckon, mate, how big?
I reckon you've gotta go 90.
Yeah, I reckon he's a 90.
That's a 90.
Very memorable.
The spot was picturesque, and he got me catching these barramundi, and I was hooked.
A couple of real scary moments on All 4 Adventure.
One, obviously when I rolled my truck, and it was all happening.
It was like, "this isn't really happening."
I'm good to go.
Holy ****.
All 4 Adventure, my arse.
And one of the other ones was when I lowered Jase on our last series off the edge of that cliff.
Like I wasn't the one going off the cliff, but it was still pretty scary.
Long way down there, buddy.
All right, mate.
Nice knowing you, buddy.
Don't be like that.
Be back in a minute.
You'll be fine.
A bit more.
Bugger that ****.
All right, mate, I'm on the deck, I'm on the deck.
Well done!
I think the biggest challenge I've ever faced on All 4 Adventure is actually going away
with Jase for 9 weeks at a time.
You got the gaff?
Just hold on, just hold on.
Just hold him there.
Oh... you're sacked on the gaff, man. You're sacked.
It's hard to get good help, I tell you.
Three of my favourite spots in Australia... well, I can't tell you that.
Because then other people are going to go to my favourite spots.
How about I go for 3 of my second-most favourite spots?
The bottom end of the Great Barrier Reef.
That is probably one of my most favourite spots of all.
Cape York -- I won't tell you exactly where in Cape York,
but Cape York would be my 2nd favourite spot.
And my third favourite spot is the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, believe it or not.
Three interesting facts about myself.
Okay one that no one will probably pick up on, I was actually born in England.
I don't spout that too much.
I can't even believe I just said it.
Nothing against the English, mind you.
Umm, other interesting facts...
I don't wear a shirt hardly ever.
People bag me out for that a lot.
“Don't you own a shirt?”
Not really.
And I don't wear shoes very often.
Hey Simon, where'd you get those nice thongs you got there?
The hobbit shop, mate.
I got a pair too.
I suppose one of my main addictions is my coffee.
I do like my cappuccino in the morning.
A bit bouncy down here.
I know. I came so close to spilling my coffee, and I only just made it up.
When I'm not out filming All 4 Adventure, some of my favourite things to do is I like
to go out to the reef and go spearfishing out on the Great Barrier Reef.
And I'm also right into my motorbikes.
Dirt bikes would be one of my favourite things to go and do.
Well hopefully you guys get a little bit of insight in who I am, and I hope you guys all
enjoy and join us on Series 9!
