Look, I’m not saying ESS Engineering are the absolute best in manufacturing, installing and servicing conveyor sealing and cleaning equipment…….but they are!

They’re also very generous and have been kind enough to cover our accommodation costs whilst in Perth (right by the ocean in a lovely apartment).

The team heard of the ride through a friend of ours who works with them and wanted to help in anyway they could.

Thanks.

One of the best (and most secure) online shopping carts available is Americart.

It’s what we use on this site to make your donations totally secure (hint, hint!).

Just a quick shout out to Todd Holson and the Americart team for providing their software for free (saves us $310) – that’s an extra $310 we can contribute to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia!

Cheers

One of our friends is a wonderful guy called Aneek Mollah.

Aneek is a super keen bike rider and completes the arduous Sydney to Surfers ride each year.

Aneek has made the very kind donation of $100 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia and has pledged $100 more per month until we set off on the ride.

Jack Awarded Australian Scouting Medallion

Jack received a letter from Maurice Law, AM, – Chief Commissioner of Scouts Queensland – last week – “I have much pleasure in advising that you have today been awarded the Australian Scouting Medallion.”

Highest Award A Scout Can Win

The Australian Scouting Medallion is the highest award a Scout can win and they’re awarded rarely – in 15 years with Scouts, Jack’s Scout leader Spud has never had another Scout be awarded the honour.

Jack is a mad keen Scout and does so much abseiling, rock climbing, kayaking, bushwalking and camping we simply don’t know where he gets the energy!

An official presentation is being organised – we’ll keep you posted.

Today we were lucky enough to get a bit of media attention for the ride.

• We started off the morning with a TV interview with Gold Coast Channel 9 News
• Then it was an interview with a journalist (and photos) with the Gold Coast Bulletin
• Then at 4.45 pm we did some talk back radio with ABC radio – click the player above to hear.

• I’ve just been featured on Scouting News – that’s pretty cool.
• Chris, who trains Dad and I, has mentioned us on his web site.
• Dad is giving a speech next week and John mentioned the ride too.
