From Bern to Nepal in a Land Rover

On June 27, we broadcasted live from the Gold Coast. One of our guests was 79-year-old Franz Huber. In 1970, he and a friend drove from Bern to Nepal in a Land Rover. When they ran out of money, they flew to Sydney — and the rest is history. In an interview, Franz talks about their adventures and the people they met on their journey.
