A sold-out theatre at Sydney’s Cremorne Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace hosted Tom Robinson and Dr Richard Barnes last week for one of Australian Geographic Society’s Showcase Roadshow events.
Dubbed ‘the naked rower’ by mainstream media after being found by a cruise ship clinging naked to his upturned rowboat, Tom Robinson says he achieved everything he wanted to achieve on his journey, despite missing out on his planned world record.
The 23-year-old Queenslander has successfully completed the first leg of his world record breaking attempt to become the youngest person to row solo across the Pacific Ocean from South America to Australia.
