Great Ferkin Jesus why??

because its there

just think about it. Desolation as far as the eye can see, nothing decent to drink for 500 miles, no decent birds for 500 miles, venemous creatures and vultures everywhere.
I'm leaving all that behind to go to the desert

six days from now I will be in the middle of the Great Victorian desert in Australia, on a trial of endurance and willpower, human spirit against the forces of nature, scouse native wit in a battle against the ferocious and poisonous Australians.

If you want to sponsor me, send me some money now

Off on the family holiday then?
