My story

On the 26th August 1985 I was racing a KTM 600 motorcycle in

the inaugural Wynn’s Safari (now Australian Safari) from Sydney

to Darwin. My accident occurred just after leaving Birdsville

(Queensland) on a competitive section. The accident occurred

whilst overtaking a car in the dust

To get me to Princess Alexandria Hospital in Brisbane via Longreach

Hospital it took one helicopter flight, 7 ambulance changes and 2

plane flights. After 4 months on the other side of the country from

home I returned home to be put in quarantine for a month

(Golden Staph in Qld Hospitals at time) then my first hospital outing

was on 14th Feb (Valentines Day) 1986

Sayings that inspire me

You have to piss out of the dick you have got
