DAY 1 - MEDIA HYPE

It Begins!


The CrazyJourney team embarked on their adventure from the Sydney Opera House yesterday after a long morning of media interviews. Reporters from Channel 7, Channel 10, Livenews.com.au and photographers the Australian Associated Press flocked to the Opera House where family and friends of the four lads said their goodbyes. Check out one of the interviews:

Yesterday was a marathon drive from Sydney to Byron Bay. Surprisingly it rained for most of the trip so sight-seeing was put on the backburner. Rhys and Chuck took the 9 hour drive as an opportunity to catch up on a bit of sleep, and Fintan spent much of the day fielding interviews for radio and various print media. Arriving late in the evening the lads got a quick kebab (only place open but surprisingly tasty!) and then hit a local bar for a few beers. A few beers turned into a few more and Dave was last seen climbing trees with a fellow Irishman (from county Kerry) and a security guard from a local pub on the main street of Byron.
