As Cheeky As You Can't

My photo
Gareth, Anne and Phil
Gone walkabout, Circumnavigating Oz, Australia
Going for broke, starting from scratch with nothing at all, not even clothing, we intend to raise the necessary resources, bit by bit, without any cash ever changing hands, to set off on the 25,000km journey from Brisbane, anti-clockwise around Australia, to arrive back at Brisbane. We will discard all our possessions, relying wholly on the kindness of others to provide us with everything we need to navigate around the continent. We work the whole way around, doing as many jobs offered to us as possible and give up every single cent of our wages to Book Aid International. At the end of our adventure we will keep nothing but our footage, pictures and stories. All we've been given, that we have not used, will be auctioned off, with proceeds going towards the promotion of Child Literacy. We will keep nothing for ourselves save the proof that Australians are fair dinkum the worlds friendliest people.

Someone pointed this out to us. Great stuff guys. "I just stumbled across this on the Brisbane Times website. It is an absolutely unbelievable thing to be doing, especially in a country as Australia!" Read Here

This type of thing REALLY anoys me. If they are paying for all their costs themselves and any donations actually go to charity, fair enough, but most of them don't!

Interesting Story
Three friends from around the UK have come together in Brisbane to set off on a circumnavigation of Australia, to raise money for a child literacy charity, Book Aid International and to write a book about their travels. With one small exception: They must start the trip from scratch, with nothing more than their trust in good will and generosity.

ABC Queensland
A Road Trip With A Differnce
A welshman, an english woman and a British Isles-man were sitting at a bar in Wales ... and they made a promise.

No, this is not a joke ... years later, the three friends left their jobs in Ireland, Osaka and Vienna and met up in Brisbane, Australia.

Here is the beginning of my post.

Cheeky Fundraisers Travel Oz

Three friends have come together for an epic adventure around Australia to raise $22,000+ for Book Aid International and to write a book about their travels.
But there is one small hitch. They must start the trip from scratch, with nothing more than their trust in good will and generosity. They will start without any money, no vehicle or even clothing and have one week to try and collect as much food, clothes and equipment that they can before they set off on 21 September.
Giving up their jobs, their homes, their comforts and all their possessions, Anne, Gareth and Phil will circumnavigate this huge continent with the help of Aussies nationwide. Needing help to start and even more to keep them going, the three will work on the premise of being as cheeky as they can't, "when being as cheeky as we 'can' isn't enough". They will work their way around, swapping their skills for supplies and donations to Book Aid International.
Be it bee-keeping for a litre of milk or dressing up as meter maids for a tank of petrol, working on a llama farm for a bed for the night, or building walls, they won't back down from any challenge! All to raise money for Book Aid International, a cause very close to their heart:
"We believe books change lives. Books have definitely changed ours, inspiring ideas and creativity, giving us language, skills and aiding our education."
At the end of the trip, everything they have collected on the way will be auctioned for Book Aid International.
And you can sponsor their journey by clicking here. All proceeds go to Book Aid International.
