#43 Alan Docherty | Uluru's Only Fireman

On a recent trip to the Outback, I was lucky enough to be hosted by Alan in Yulara, the resort town which services Uluru.

Like most young boy, once upon a time I wanted to be a fireman when I grew up and, for Alan, this dream simply never went away!

Asking all kinds of questions about the realities of firefighting and life in the Outback, my curiosity left satisfied.

Thanks again Alan mate for the hospitality and open willingness to share your stories!

Enjoy:)
