  1. Must be a slow news day to put on a story about this self promoting person. I’ve known the man personally for 45 years & he has never done anything for anyone else in that whole time. As you can see in your newscast it is all about me, me, me. Why not do something for charity with these so called adventures which he is getting so much coverage about.

  2. Dear Guest,

    If you knew Graham Burgess for 45 years as you are so proud to tell everyone, you should know that he has dedicated his life for everyone except himself. He is the most generous person I ever met, and I just know him for 3 years and I had already saw him done 100’s of things for all his friends and did a lot for me and my family. So now I’m going to tell you something else, Graham did a lot for charity in his life.
    What have you done in your life for other people and who do you think you are to post a comment like this? shame on you you coward nameless person.

  3. I’m sorry Frank but you just do not know the man. I repeat he has never done anything for anyone without their being a payoff for himself. He only ever thinks about himself first.

  4. In reply to “Guest” above (too gutless to leave your name huh?) I have known Graham over 44 years and I have nothing but RESPECT for him. Obviously you have encountered him during his extensive business career and you have not come off best, due to his skillful business acumen.You’ve obviously had a REAL PERSONAL DISAGREEMENT with Graham to feel compelled to comment TWICE on this article. I NOTICE THAT you didn’t mention any of the work he did for those children in Africa !?
    Graham is always doing for others, I must say he is a man with a huge heart with consideration for the less fortunate. WAKE-up to yourself “Guest” and find something better to whine about. DID you bad mouth Jessica Watson on her sailing adventure? OR the MYRIAD of other explorers who have trekked this planet. Or even the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. GET A LIFE YOU NITWIT.

  5. What a terrible thing to say about a generous, giving man. He would not say no to any request for help and has done dozens of thing for the community without recognition for himself. If you knew the man, you would realise how much time and effort he has given freely of himself to those in need. He has been a good friend to my family and has given both support and love when needed. Kylie
