Len Beadell, 1923-
National Radio (N.Z.) 1986-2007, Broadcaster

He's the man who surveyed Woomera; the man who built the Gunbarrel Highway across Central Australia; the man whose road-building party once towed a broken-down grader for 800 kilometres, and saw their ration truck melt during the journey. His name is Len Beadell - a quiet man with an extraordinary story to tell.
