Nature was always Warren's 'antidote' to a busy life. Then he had a devastating accident on Hinchinbrook Island and didn't know if he'd make it out alive.
"And I think that the big pieces of it was that he had asked me to go, and I had always kind of reassured him that, sure, he might have asked me to go but I mean, I made the decision to go and … we got through it at the end of the day — he saved my life."Almost a month later, after multiple operations, Warren was able to fly home to Melbourne to start rehabilitation.
After his accident, Warren reached the summit of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania using his upper body strength and a modified wheelchair."I mentioned … this feeling of connection that I'd always been chasing. And for a while after Hinchinbrook, I thought that was something that was gone, that I was never really going to be able to feel that spiritual connection that I get from being outside," Warren says.
Since reaching the summit of Cradle Mountain in 1998, Warren has continued to celebrate some incredible accomplishments.
