CAS & JONESY BIOGRAPHY
BASED SYDNEY
Cas and Jonesy are two of Australia’s premier public speakers and adventurers constantly pushing the boundaries of human endurance.
On the 26th January 2012, they made history by completing the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time. In 100 years of polar exploration no-one had EVER walked from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without assistance. Many had tried, none had succeeded. After 89 gruelling days they made it back to the coast after having skied 2275km with everything they needed to survive in the harshest environment on Earth.
Four years earlier they Crossed the Ditch – paddling 3318km without assistance across the Tasman Sea for another world first. They braved 10 metre swells, howling winds, endured severe food and sleep deprivation and adverse winds and currents. They became the first kayakers to cross the Tasman Sea as well as becoming the longest transoceanic double kayak expedition. Staggering upon the shores of New Zealand, the adventurers were sunburnt, bearded, underweight, and physically and mentally wasted…but most of all happy to be alive.
The boys are highly regarded as two of Australia’s premier public speakers and have written & produced four award winning books and documentaries about their expeditions. They have now shared their incredible story with over 200,000 people around the world including Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Vietnam, Fiji, Indonesia and Dubai. Insights into leadership, teamwork, risk management and how to overcome adversity have captivated global audiences.
Cas & Jonesy are highly motivated to work with you in creating the perfect keynote for your next function or conference.
