Farmer, Father, Author and Adventurer. Peter is a survivor. He is the first Australian to have adventured to both the North and South Magnetic Poles. What makes Peter’s accomplishment even more remarkable is that he completed his expedition to the North Magnetic Pole, hauling a sled 700km across the frozen Arctic Sea, 12 months after undergoing his second bout of major heart surgery. He has survived being taken by an avalanche in Antarctica and falling the equivalent of 14 stories of an office building. Using the experiences of his trips to the wilderness Peter has raised more than $14 million for Australian Charities has produced 2 TV documentaries, his most recent being turned into an ABC Mini-series, and his biography – A Step Too Far was recently released. If the testimonies on his biography by the likes of Peter Hillary, Stuart Diver, Betty Cuthbert and Greg Norman are any thing to go by then we are about to hear an incredible story.
