 | Graeme and Michael Ferris are brothers. Graeme turns 30 the night before the race, and is hoping not to have a hangover at race start. Michael keeps snakes and lizards as pets, so he should be right at home in the jungles of Borneo. Novak was a member of the 1995 Eco-Challenge winning team with Jane Hall. A strong competitor, Novak�s race experience is a great asset to this new Aussie team, who come from a strong triathlon background.
