Wordless Wednesday ~ Trooper Trek 'Perth to Sydney'

Whoa - remember I told you about the Storm Trooper and his Trek

So who did meet the very next day - My boys were fascinated by him. His website is www.troopertrek.com

'Does your head come off ' "How do you see?"

Here we snapped 5 huge trucks pass him in under 3 mins ...hmm

what is this ?

PS Sorry for those who tried to link up last week -A Blogger Hiccup ~~where I had a major meltdown~~ disabled my blog /email / profile for most of the day. I couldn't even comment via my profile.Thanks for linking up and visiting other blogs !

NEWSFLASH - I saw on twitter the Stormtrooper Trooptrek is in KIMBA - the Halfway point across Australia Please go say hi on Facebook and encourage him !

We came across Jacob - The Star Wars - Storm Trooper in September on our way across the Nullabor in Western Australia .We couldn't stop - towing a caravan with no safe spot to stop and no where to turn around.
On way home - we saw the Storm Trooper again walking on a stinking hot day heading towards Ceduna in SA,. This time we had a safe place to stop and chat. His name is Jacob and he has raised $30,000 so far. He plans to walk to Sydney via Adelaide and Melbourne. We also gave him a donation and a cold can of coke ! You can donate to his cause online at Everyday hero.

What a great cause he's supporting. He sure is a trooper doing the walk dressed up and in the heat. I couldn't get what your last picas, though. We're you driving on a small runway? Or was it a large crossing for livestock?

He is so dedicated! How he can stand the heat is beyond me. The Starlight Children's Foundation are very lucky indeed.
Are the stripes the starting point for an aerial speed detector?

These are brilliant!! Have shown them to my Star Wars mad other half who is saying it's all the more reason for him to get a stormtrooper outfit - it will raise a smile :-)

I think Miss Possum would have freaked out at the star wars guy. It must have been great for the boys though. What a sight to behold!
