Does anyone in New Zealand know these two men?
(Thread)
In 2016, when I was working as a Correspondent for New Zealand telly I was sent to Bathurst in NSW to cover the V8s. The event itself was amazing, but I was working alone from before dawn until late at night. I remember notching up about 40km a day, on foot lugging heavy gear
It was freezing in the morning and stinking hot during the day. Thankless too, I can remember one superstar driver absolutely treating me like the gum on his show (he later wrote an apology thanks to Supercars PR)
It was so busy, I lost about 6kg just through walking and carrying gear around the track and at the end of every day I can remember copping flak from keyboard warriors just wanting to have a crack. Pretty lonely when you work as a satellite bureau in a foreign country.
Then, on the final day, this tour bus pulled up with about 30 kiwis on board. They literally pulled me onto their bus and down the back these two happy men made me their best friend. The three of us even did jumping shots together at sunset at the top of Mount Panorama.
Long story short, I was exhausted and didn’t get their contact details. The very next day I was flicked off to another city to cover a murder.

I need to find these men and the sunset jump shots.
I don’t know who they are, but our hour of fun meant the absolute world.
I often think of that evening and would love to say thanks 💛
