LARRIKIN JONESY LIVES A FULL LIFE

-

BY chance we happened to be in the audience at an event where the guest speaker was adventurer Justin Jones. Not as well-known as he should be, Jonesy is an Aussie larrikin who decided he didn’t want to live a life in the shadows. In 2008 he and his great mate James Castrissio­n decided be the first to paddle a kayak to New Zealand. That done they then started planning for an unsupporte­d 2,275km trek to the South Pole on skies. Look him up – he is truly inspiratio­nal.
