Description
Nothing could stop him, nothing was bigger, wilder, fiercer, more industrious than George. Not even WW2 could bring him down. A true icon of the Australian landscape, George Challis is the man for whom the word "Gumption" was invented.
They were larger than life times! And George had more life than most! From a range of war episodes to personal encounters with the ferocity of the Australian landscape, George Challis had a unique way of dealing with everything. A man who lived through WWII and who showed more resourcefulness than most, George Challis went on to define what it is like to be all-man and a true Aussie Icon.
"This is one of the most determined characters to come out of the Australian landscape; a man who understood that nature demanded something must die so that someone might live." Coverage Reports #778 of 2012
