If you’re in dire need of inspiration for your next vacation you could do a lot worse than taking your cues from old mate above, who recently lost his GoPro in the Tweed River only to have it wash up near Fingal and whose resurfaced photos and footage have launched something of a manhunt borne of goodwill and wanderlust in equal measure.
Like all good stories – The Book of Exodus, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – News Corp. are today reporting that a good samaritan from Lower Beechmont found the 32GB camera two weeks ago on the banks of the Tweed and has been using what sounds like a great deal of his personal time trying to track down the evidently careless owner of the GoPro.
Says Steve Carmody of the intrepid traveller, who’s pretty much guaranteed to be living the dream somewhere exceedingly exotic at the time of writing:
“He has been to New York, he has been to Arizona, to the Grand Canyon and was playing football in Fiji. The last thing [on the camera] is he is kayaking with three or four other people at Fingal and he has flipped and then all you see is water and sand until it turns itself off.I thought if these were my memories, I would love to get them back so I took one photo of him and put it on Facebook and shared it publicly.”
New York? The Grand Canyon? Fiji? Now Tweed Heads?! Honestly, who does this guy think he is?
The man in question is described by Carmody, who intends to return Carmen Sandiego’s property should he come and claim it, as “fair, with strawberry blonde hair and commonly wears sunglasses with groups of people.”
Shouldn’t be too hard finding someone who matches that description in Australia.
