I think my passion for adventure, I think it really started when I was a teenager.
I just wanted to get out there and I just wanted to go catch fish.
It was from fishing. I wanted to catch fish.
And I just could not catch fish around where I lived and, you know, it was fished out.
So I wanted to go to the most remote places in Australia
where the fish just jumped on your hook.
Ten years now we've been making tv.
And I remember starting with the little handicam I bought off ebay
with Roddo and heading out and really sort of...
it was raw. It was real. It was raw,
and it was exciting new challenges.
It was laying everything on the line to make it happen.
We're here. We're having fun.
We made it.
And it's been a heck of a trip.
One hell of a trip, mate. It's been awesome.
I seriously pinch myself now, and I really just bring myself back into reality.
Because what we've achieved, and when I say 'we', I mean me and my wife, what we've achieved
with this All 4 Adventure brand and the Unleashed brand, I don't know, I don't think I would
have thought we would have achieved that in a million years.
One of the biggest challenges for me with All 4 Adventure is
just making sure everything runs like clockwork.
It might look like we're having a good time, and we are.
We're having a really good time out there, but there's a machine running in the background
so that all this happens.
Here we are, mate.
We've been to the tip of Cape York, and now we've been to the most western point in Australia.
I'm going to be the first one there!
One of my most favourite All 4 Adventure memories would have to be, and there's a few of them...
but I generally keep coming back to that situation where you're on that remote location and you've
just traveled all day and all night, and you've really put some serious effort into it, and
you've got to this spot, and you know it is so remote and so pristine that you just...
you absorb it.
My top 3 favourite locations in Australia would have to be the Mitchell River rock bar
is one of them.
The second, and it sounds very similar, is the Drysdale River rock bar.
Setting up the swag, rolling out the swag on the rock bar, and basically sun popping
down over the Kimberley horizon.
And then number three would have to be sitting on a beach on an island, and I can't remember
the exact island, but it was in the Great Barrier Reef.
And it was white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, sitting beside the fire.
I had my swag rolled out.
We'd just traveled all day in little tinnies to get there.
That would have to be it.
I think the scariest moment on All 4 Adventure would have to be when Simon lowered me over
the 80-foot cliff on Dirk Hartog Island from the winch on the front of the 79 dual-cab.
Just stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop!
All right, give me a little bit more.
A bit more.
How is it down there?
It's a long way down. Trust me. It's a long way down.
The whole thing is, you know, I'd be no where without people watching.
And how are we going, Brisbane?
Apparently, I inspire people to get out there and do stuff like what I do.
Or even just do their own adventure.
And you just sit there and you just go... wow.
I didn't realize I had that much of an impact on people.
And I get excited about that bit.
I love that reaction that I get from people when they watch what we do.
I can't believe that little kids come up to me, and they idolize... they idolize me, they
idolize what I do, and they make Lego trucks,
and they give me their little drawing that they did of my truck.
And they play, they role-play with Jase, and they cut their sleeves off their shirts.
And I can't believe how much influence I've had over the younger generation.
So when I'm not filming All 4 Adventure, one of my most favourite things to do is to pick
the place that excited me the most and take my wife and my kids there with all the toys
and basically experience it with them.
I wish I had more time to spend with them.
And I do sort of get a bit torn between getting out there and doing these adventures
but also spending the time with my family.
