Hundreds & Thousands: Australia Speaking Tour 2010
Dave Cornthwaite and Aussie Adventurer Sebastian Terrys maiden speaking tour - Sponsored by Jeep Patriot - was a great success as the lads addressed thousands of people in schools, businesses and community groups throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland during November 2010. Dave and Seb are planning new speaking engagements for 2011 and 2012.
The lecture
Between them, Dave Cornthwaite and Sebastian Terry have broken world records, written books, produced films and presented to audiences on four continents. Accomplished speakers at home and abroad, they are delighted to announce 'Hundreds and Thousands', their first joint speaking tour. This inspirational and entertaining lecture is complimented by stunning slides and video, designed both to amaze and provoke thoughts about exactly what we hope to achieve from our lives.
Delivered with honest and humorous self-assessment, Dave and Sebastian present side by side, equating their individual and shared ventures by explaining how they have managed to stretch their boundaries without compromising the sensible stuff that modern life requires of us.
The duo's dynamism and lust for life is evident from the off, and binds a performance that is as varied and funny as it is inspiring. One thing is certain, these unique experiences in the world of geographical and social adventure combine to create an aspirational blueprint for life lessons and decision making. Everyone who hears Dave and Seb's story will consider not only what they dream to achieve, but they will also believe they're capable of making it happen, too.

We are always on the look out for motivating and inspiring guest speakers that can act as role models for our disengaged, at risk adolescent students. Passion and creativity are attributes so highly valued and yet so rarely exhibited in tandem. Sebastian Terry and Dave Cornthwaite demonstrate and live these attributes on a daily basis, staying true to yourself and your purpose is nothing short of inspirational. They deliver a motivational, humorous and highly engaging presentation that will motivate children, youth and adults alike and facilitates a flow of new ideas and positive change.
Kate Cooper – Leading Teacher Southern Teaching Unit
After your visit I cannot stop thinking about my future and where my life is headed and what I would personally like to accomplish. To think that I almost did not come and watch you! Best decision of my life! Most “motivational” speakers never really motivate anyone. But you did the complete opposite! Everyone present walked out talking about “their own list.”
Student at Grossman High School, Maitland
Seb and Dave inspired me so much when they talked about their goals and what they have achieved in their lives so far. They were just so encouraging. I was just blown away by some of the things that they have done and achieved. I walked away believing that I could achieve anything I wanted to. Thank you so much.

Sebastian Terry
Sebastian Terry, 29, has spent much of the last two years far away from home in Sydney, but his travels have been closely followed in his native Australia. Following the death of a close friend, Sebastian's priorities changed and he began travelling the world to chase his dreams, ticking off 100 Things from a bucket list such as visiting a prisoner on death row, hitchhiking across America and breaking a Guinness World Record.
With an infectious sense of humour and engaging personality which saw him star in the world-wide Live Every Litre documentary in 2010, Sebastian's project has blossomed into much more than just a one-man adventure as his journey has encouraged countless others to start following their dreams, as well.

Dave Cornthwaite
Dave Cornthwaite hails from Britain but his career as a professional Adventurer has already given him an intimate relationship with Australia. In 2006 Dave skateboarded from Perth to Brisbane, on what became the longest journey of its kind in history. In 2009 he walked and kayaked the length of the Murray River from Source to Sea, along the way investigating the reasons behind the Murray's struggles during the worst drought on record.
An accomplished motivational speaker, filmmaker and author, Dave’s work continues to capture the imagination thanks to Expedition1000, his series of twenty-five separate journeys of over 1000 miles in length, each using a different form of non-motorised transport.
"Sebastian is inspirational!
His humour, amazing stories and great video footage made us all want to get out there and chase our dreams."
Hazel Willis TNT Magazine
"Dave is a
natural story-teller and the perfect example of someone
who turns ideas and dreams into realities. Candid, comical & inspirational.
