Andrew Greste family thanked a number of people during today's news conference, including SBS Europe correspondent Brett Mason who travelled to Cairo with him on his first trip there.

He said," A quick mention to Brett Mason who accompanied me on my first trip to Cairo into a pretty stressful and unknown situation and if it wasn't for Brett's counsel -- he's a veteran of Cairo -- and he taught me a lot of things in that short week that you'd never read in the travel guides about Cairo and how to get around and survive in Cairo. So, Brett, thanks mate."

Brett Mason is in Cairo.

He is speaking to Greg Dyett, who asked him what were some of the tips he'd passed on to Andrew Greste.
