FAREWELL TO TARZAN OF FREE SPIRIT

-

Very nice fella. I gave him a lift once on the highway back into Gordonvale. I declined his offer of money which he then gave to my then toddler son. RIP old chap.

Nathan Pollard

We saw him several times over the years walking the Bruce Highway … I wonder how long before his ghost is seen doing the same thing. RIP.

Gary Everett

What a legend! Rest In Peace mate! The stories we were told as kids, the times we would see you on the side of the road and all scream there’s Tarzan, you were incredibly strong.

Shayla Gaily

Surely there needs to be a statue made and mounted on the highway!

Nick Perazza

R.I.P. Tarzan. I loved the stories you told me when I used to pick you up on Sunbus.

Megan Aebersold

The Bruce Hwy will never be the same. RIP Tarzan. For 20yrs my children and I saw him stopping in Innisfail for a rest.

Roslyn Harris

An inspiratio­n to us all of the ability to see the true beauty and simplicity of life. Rest in peace.

Chris Reed

I see some other posts about Michael’s passing with people suggesting a statue be commission­ed for the highway as a memorial to our legendary Tarzan. I think that is a brilliant idea.

Anne-Marie Whelan

They need to make a bronze statue of him and put it on the Bruce Highway.
