Lunch With Dr Richard Harris SC OAM
Event description
Join MC Erin Molan and Host Peter Overton for an intimate and relaxed discussion with our 2019 Australian of the Year, Dr Richard “Harry” Harris SC OAM, who played a crucial role in the amazing cave rescue of the young Thai football team in 2018.
Richard is an Australian anaesthetist and cave diver who didn't hesitate to jump on a plane to help rescue the 12 young members of the Wild Boars soccer club and their coach who had become trapped deep in a Thai cave.
Peter will uncover Richard’s passion for cave diving and how his skills as a cave diver and doctor were used to manage the spine tingling risks taken to rescue the boys and their coach. We all know the story had a happy ending but you will hear first hand how Richard helped plan and execute what he saw as the remote possibility of saving all 13 young Thai men.
