Aussie man Josh Eastwell takes on epic Bunnings challenge

Sydney man Josh Eastwell is attempting the ultimate Aussie challenge, and it involves an iconic Bunnings fundraiser.

A Sydney warehouse worker has set himself the ultimate Aussie challenge: to eat a sausage at every Bunnings in the country.

Josh Eastwell has so far downed 172 of the 280 snags on offer, sampling the humble local staple everywhere from the Apple Isle to Broome.

He has just returned from a road trip to Western Australia, where he knocked off some of the nation’s most remote sizzles.

NSW and Queensland are next on the radar, with Mr Eastwell on a mission to complete the sausage crawl in Darwin by the year’s end.

A video published of his exploits shows him devouring the unsophisticated cuisine from city to beach to country, with his zest for the sausage trumped only by his noteworthy mullet.

“He’s chomped through the Apple Isle, proved that things can be done efficiently in Victoria, swept through South Australia and has recently made it back from the wild west,” the video explains.

Despite the serious chomping required, Mr Eastwell manages multiple thumbs up for the camera as he attempts the unusual feat that doubtless would have many questioning: why?

It’s “just something to do really”, he explains.

Sportsbet has thrown its support behind the challenge, describing Mr Eastwell as “just an everyday Aussie trying to live out his boyhood dream”.

“Burke and Wills did a bit I suppose, but this is the Australian explorer this country needs at the moment,” spokesman Rich Hummerston quipped.

“We couldn’t say no at Sportsbet to get behind Joshy in this truly remarkable adventure.”
