This has really knocked me around. David had a very good blog of his and his partners adventures as the toured Australia in their troopie. http://www.ournakedaustralia.com.au

While I didn't know David personally he seemed like a regular knock about bloke who loved the bush and while he wasn't a hardcore walker he still had a bit of bush sense. It definitely brings my own mortality into focus.

RIP

BigKev it certainly does make you open your eyes to your own immortality indeed, such a sad thing to happen live the life that you have to the fullest and depart this earth with no regrets I believe that was what he was doing with his travel and blog. RIP
