Manxman Phil Carr embarks on madcap charity challenge WITH only a black plastic bin liner to protect his modesty, Manxman Phil Carr and two friends began a charity challenge on Sunday to tour Australia relying only on the generosity of those they meet.
The proposition is simple: they begin with nothing — hence the bin liners — and anything surplus at the end of the trip is to be auctioned in aid of the charity Book Aid International.

Along the way no money is to change hands, instead the trio will barter, work and in fact do anything within reason in exchange for living essentials, travel and donations to the charity.
