Channel 7 visitation
28 April 2005    
Limelight and camera action dominated rest day three as an Australian TV crew led by celebrity newsreader Jennifer Adams rolled into our chillout room 'the exclusive Club O2' to conduct cameo inteviews for a documentary.
Matt Kitchin, Piers Buck, Paul Rogers, Rachel Harrison and Kat Sandling were singled out for their scintillating views on BC life and the big climb. Very colourful and eveyone had a ball.

All fit and well. Dan Griffith, Rob Follows, Kat and Paul planning sortie to Camp 1 at 5am tomorrow.
Cheers, Paul
