Say it with me – “G’day! How’s it going? Need a hand?”
This is often the start of some great conversations when on the road. If you pull over in the side of the road, a bush track or on the beach, don’t be surprised if you’re hit with these questions.
Similarly, if you see someone who may be doin’ it tough – ask the same questions. I was reminded of this when I met Ben on the weekend. Ben heads #no_mates4X4, a Facebook group to ‘let everyone know you are not alone and #itaintweaktospeak’.
Using these same questions when camping and travelling to reach out to help those in need for a wide variety of reasons. Try it today – even if you’re at work or out and about. Thanks Ben – I got home ok. Our chat meant a lot to me.
Other Travellers
Not all travellers we meet along the way are from Downunder. As our English backpacker wrote in a blog, whilst staying in Australia, English is very different from the English he is accustomed to hearing. Remember to lend an ear when it is needed and extend a hand when things go wrong.
