A Gwynedd man is taking an unusual approach to travelling around Australia to raise money for charity.
Along with two friends, Gareth Owen, from Groeslon near Caernarfon, started off with nothing - not even the clothes on his back.
The trio plan to work for all the goods and services they will need on the journey as they raise funds for Bookaid International.
The friends - the others are Anne Race from Tyne and Wear and Phil Carr from the Isle of Man - started off by giving all their clothes away and wearing bin bags on the streets of Brisbane.
The trio hope their trip will be sufficiently different to attract enough publicity to raise £10,000 for child literacy charity Bookaid International.
"We are hoping that by doing the trip this way (depending on other people to donate everything) we can highlight the problems faced by people who have no money," Mr Owen said.
