In Perth last Friday Charles & I met Jim Cairns who together with 3 others will travel from Perth (leaving on the 8th August), cross the Simpson Desert to Birdsville (arrive 25th August) then travel down the Strz Track and onto Adelaide (arriving 31st August). No mean feat but 3 of these men are paraplegics and the 4th, a quadriplegic. They will have several OKAS as support vehicles and a doctor in a Landcruiser. Their web site is www.againstthegrain.org.au.

A Member from www.fourneybeyondroadtrauma.com.au will be travelling with them and doing a documentary.

If you meet them on their travels give a wave or have a chat.

Good luck to these guys!
