Week Eleven - Australian Mick McQueen heads off on his first Camino in a few days

[DanfromSydney]

This is one of the most extraordinary interviews I’ve ever conducted in more than 20 years of broadcasting.

Former Australian infantryman Mick McQueen is carrying on the Camino an Australian Roll of Honour honouring 41 Australians killed in service in Afghanistan.

He opens up about his hopes and his intentions and reveals secrets he’s carried with him his entire life.

We go through his excess baggage together to lighten his load before he heads to the Camino.

Enjoy and share, share, share.

Buen Camino

Hi Dan and Mick -

Thank you both so very much for this extraordinary interview. To say that I loved it seems so lame - it's so much more than that. I am keeping this interview and I am sharing it - Mick's story needs to be shared in our pilgrim world.

Mick - thank you for your openness and your honesty in sharing the times of your life that have been so painful, and Dan, thank you for your care and your sensitivity as the story of Mick's life unfolded in the interview.

Mick - as Dan said, your Camino has already begun - may you be blessed every day that you are on those ancient paths. The spirits of the 41 Aussies who died in the Afghanistan conflicts will all be with you, as will the spirits of the millions of past pilgrims.

Thank you both once again - and Buen Camino.

Jenny

Well that made me cry - I thought it just wonderful, so human, so utterly human.

Thank you.
