Well, yesterday saw the last episode of Gardening Australia ever hosted by the extraordinary man himself, Peter Cundall. I’ve never been much of a gardener myself (I think my last attempt at gardening produced more rocks than vegetables), but I just want to say, in my own little way, thankyou.

Peter Cundall has inspired tens of thousands of people to take up gardening, and to get out and enjoy the outdoors a bit more. He is also, without a doubt, the most consistently enthusiastic individual in Australia. I have never seen him not excited about something.

There’s an interview with Andrew Denton that gives amazing insight into his life… he’s been in both the British and Australian armies, presented television shows for over thirty years, and stood for election for the communist party and then not voted for himself. An odd man to be sure.

I hope the rest of his life is just as fruitful.
