Australian Geographic's video: IN CONVERSATION: Tom Robinson and Dr Richard Barnes

A sold-out theatre at Sydney’s Cremorne Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace hosted Tom Robinson and Dr Richard Barnes on Tuesday 6 February 2024 for Australian Geographic Society's Showcase Roadshow. Guests heard the pair's incredible adventures live in person with a riveting presentation from Tom and an insightful Q&A between Richard and Australian Geographic Society's Chair, Chrissie Goldrick. Tom Robinson made headlines in September 2023 when he was rescued by a cruise ship after he capsized off Vanuatu. Dubbed "the naked rower" by the media, Tom had traversed the Pacific Ocean in his hand-built rowboat from Peru to the Cook Islands solo, unassisted and non-stop, before he island-hopped to Vanuatu. Dr Richard Barnes became the first person to kayak solo, unassisted and non-stop across the Tasman Sea in February 2023. He spent 67 days alone in his hand-built kayak, Blue Moon, paddling for up to 10 hours a day. 00:35 - Introduction by Chrissie Goldrick 10:03 - Tom Robinson Presentation 53:45 - Dr Richard Barnes Q&A Subscribe to Australian Geographic Society news for updates and future events… https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/newsletter We bring you the best Australian nature, science, people and adventure videos.
