A few years back Andrew and Richard James, brothers from Sydney (although Andrew is now a Bass Strait beef farmer), travelled from Capetown to Casablanca, traversing the entire west coast of Africa. They turned that epic trip into the equally epic film, Thirty Thousand.

A few years later they hopped aboard the Mentawai milk run and sent the subsequent imagery to Swellnet. Might've been a couple of notches down in the adventure stakes but they still scored the goods.
