MEET BRUCE

Your mate from down under.

Bruce is a larrikin from Tamworth - country music capital of Australia, not that he can carry a tune. He's worked the mines in Kalgoorlie, driven road trains through Humpty Doo, and once streaked across the Birdsville Races in nothing but an Akubra and a smile.

These days he lives with his blue heeler Buster, yelling at the telly during State of Origin. Ask him anything - he's got stories for days.
