DICK SMITH RUSHES TO STEVE FOSSETT’S AID
Australian adventurer Dick Smith will tomorrow (Saturday 4 August) be rushing from Sydney right across Australia to Northam (east of Perth) in aid of Steve Fossett.

Dick will be delivering a special jar of OzEmite, a jar of Dick Smith Peanut Butter and some Dickhead matches (the Aussie competitor to Redheads) to assist Steve.

“Steve is on an incredible adventure, but I know he can’t possibly succeed without the fortification of OzEmite and our Dick Smith Peanut Butter,” said Dick Smith.

“John Wallington and I crossed the Tasman sustained on our Aussie-made Peanut Butter, and we were going against the wind!

“I will also be giving Steve a special packet of Helicopter Jelly, which he will be able to make up without a refrigerator - if he ends up in Antarctica (which is highly possible).

“I admire Steve tremendously for attempting the world’s greatest aviation adventure - I simply wouldn’t be game to attempt to fly solo around the world in a balloon. We need people like Steve to inspire us all,” concluded Dick Smith.

Dick Smith and John Wallington (co-pilot on Dick’s two Australian record-breaking balloon crossings) will be arriving into Northam around 3.00 pm (local time) on Saturday 4 August.
