The Toughest 13 Year Old I Have Ever Met

His name is Jack Henley and he is thirteen years old. He rides bulls. Big bulls that have big horns. And when I first met Jack at his home in Mossman, north of Cairns, his handshake eluded to just how strong this wiry kid really is. Jack happily posed for pictures with his riding straps and rope, with some great assisting by his dad Shane (who held an esky lid which bounced the on-camera flash - a great aid when the remote transmitter dies!). Without any awkwardness, Jack moved into different poses and then to a different location to get a variety of shots. Polite, professional and seriously tough. And to all the young ladies out there, I'm afraid to say that this young gentleman already has a girlfriend.
