Description

In some ways Drew Radford is an unlikely bush explorer. For a start he's a vegetarian. Also, his preferred method of transportation is his motorcycle, the Bavarian. But in the last three years he has built a wide following through his fascinating reports on JJJ and regional radio, of his intrepid laps around the country. Radford's travels have bought him into contact with a huge assortment of unusual characters and he seeks out the untypical and the unlikely. He finds off-beat humour in his encounters and he has also faced some scary moments when he's had to call upon considerable resourcefulness. Not all ringers and cowboys brings all this idiosyncratically to life in a laconic, unsentimental look at rural Australia and life on the road.
