In an effort to raise money for charity, former TV adventurer Russell Coight decides to lead a group of celebrities on a trek across Australia - from east to west coast in just 7 days.

A Special Message from Russell Coight.

Gday, I’m Russell Coight and not long ago I had a dream. About a wombat that could swim under water and bite through metal. I pitched the concept to a Sydney-based film production company but theyre yet to return my calls.

But not long after that I had another dream. This dream involved taking a bunch of high-profile Aussies across the outback on a fund-raising challenge. Sure, a lot of people scoffed. Some said I was mad, that I had a few roos loose in the top paddock. I even heard the trip described as the ploy of a fading ex- celebrity desperate to get back on the telly which, coming from someone who’s supposed to be my manager, was a little disappointing.

But I wasn’t about to give up. That’s not the Russell Coight way. So, over the next few months I got busy. Organizing sponsors, sorting out gear and tracking down some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t easy. But Ive never forgotten the words my 87 year old grandmother once said to me. Russ, you’ll never get anywhere without taking a risk. That night she tunnelled her way out of an Alice Springs correctional facility and has not been seen since. If Nanna could do it, so could I. And so I persisted and, after a lot of hard work, not to mention a few knock-backs, we were ready to go. The plan - coast to coast in just 7 days (not counting toilet stops).

Estimated despatch 5-10 days after ordering.
