“You’d get there and some old biddy
would be waiting at the door and say
you’re five minutes late! They just
had no idea.”
Firmly settled in the Barossa, Guy
is passionate about the place he now
calls home and reveals, for the first
time, just how far he went to save it
from developers.
“Remember when they were
going to put a supermarket out at
Kroemer’s Crossing? There were
all these corflute signs being put
around, ‘Keep the Barossa unique,’
‘It’s a valley not a suburb’….They just
appeared mysteriously in the middle
of the night and then bumper
stickers came out.
“Well, that was me! It certainly
created a hell of a ruckus.”
Guy has lived through what he
calls “near death experiences” that
included dodgy helicopters, cycling
into a flooded creek, heart surgery
and the time he broke his foot at the
Doobie Brothers’ concert...
When asked if he has any regrets,
his reply seems to sum up a life full
of drive and adventure.
“You go to a funeral and somebody’s
saying that they had no regrets, I
think crap! If you have no regrets,
you are setting your targets too low!
You weren’t ambitious enough and
your aspirations were just too low.”
