David is a man who used to think a big trip ended after a day's driving! He was born and educated in Australia and has been a construction manager, academic, company director and building consultant primarily involved in providing expert evidence. Father of Hamish and Will, David is married to Ros and they live in Melbourne. Welcome to Our World written with Will is his first book.
In some ways coming late to writing is a blessing. It allowed David time to reflect on what’s important in telling a story about what was essentially a long drive. From the mud and confusion of writing it became crystal clear that his relationship with Will and others was what their journey was really about. As much as a long drive and all the extraordinary events that went with it, their time together was about how a father and son got on, their tolerance of each other. David’s writing reflects that focus.
Will Gairns
A trip to Europe? Or a week or two in Thailand, maybe? Not Will. There can't be many 18 year-olds who have captained a school cricket team, worked on farms during school holidays, driven solo across the Nullabor, lived and worked on a cattle station in the mid-west of Western Australia and driven Melbourne to London with his father. But that's Will. He has recently completed his carpentry apprenticeship, and was travelling in South and Central America at the time of writing.vizualizați mai puține
