As Featured in the Guinness Book of Records, this is the thrilling, inspiring story

of Dave Cornthwaite's epic journey down-under by a most unusual form of

transport. Tired of the nine-to-five, Dave decided one day that he needed a

change – a big change. And so he jumped on his RollsRolls longboard (the Land

Rover of skateboards) and broke a world record, skating the length of Great

Britain. Not content with such glories, he decided to go one better and during

the second half of 2006 skated from Perth to Brisbane, a distance of 4,500

miles - raising money for three childrens' charities in the process and earning a

reputation as a mad pom.

This is the story of Dave's motivation, his stamina, and his enduring good spirit

in the face of a huge challenge. Grippingly written and with fantastic photos

from Dave's collection, this is an unputdownable real-life adventure story.
