Why might you use humour when presenting your local community to a national audience? In this Heywire clip, an 'ex-bushranger and survival expert' (in reality Hayden Laube) introduces us to the wilds of Port Pirie. After several adventures including fighting off ferocious wildlife, he reflects on the value of life in a country town. Watch for the story's writer and editor Blake Fetherstonhaugh, as the 'skate rat'. Could you write or record a similar story about yourself and/or your community? The ABC's Heywire competition calls for stories from 16-22 year olds in regional Australia. Enter to get your story featured on the ABC and score an all-expenses-paid trip to the Heywire Regional Youth Summit in Canberra. More: http://www.abc.net.au/heywire/community/about.htm
