Michael : Just one word
" BRILLIANT "
Good to see some shots of the hill in the background make it to the site - nice hat pookie.
Looking forward to seeing the hill come into sharper focus as we head towards mid-May. Be brave like AJ, strong like AJ and be safe like ThinkSafe Sam. Catch you in June Dunj-i.

Ode to Mike
There once was a guy called Mike
Up Everest he would hike
He would make it no worries
If he didn't eat too many curries
As he reached the top
The champagne corks went "POP"
He climbed the highest peak
And you thought he was a geek?
Next he'll be in "Show-Biz"
Love from Ciec and Liz
Good luck Mike
(Bet you wish you had a bike!)
GOOD LUCK MIKE DONT DIE FROM BEN JENKIN YOUR NEPHEW

This is the 2nd time sending -
Acclimatisation and climbing has begun - we trust it all goes well. We remember you daily Michaey. Love Mother & Dad
To the team best wishes to all of you - I imagine you have all been training for this for some time.
Malcolm & Audrey (parents of our p.s. Michael.)
Dunj,
You made it to base camp - I guess that means I lose on the 'how far will he get' sweep stakes! Just kidding mate - all the way to top tiger.
Great to follow your progress mate. The AC dispatches are fab.
Chad.
Keep your pants on...I hear it's cold up there!!
Big Mike! Long time no speak! Will have to catch up for a beer when you get back. I have so much admiration and respect for someone who follows their dream. I'll be keeping an eye on you from sunny Sydney. Good luck!
MD, well my friend you are about to visit the 3rd pole on earth!! As you reflect on what is yet to come, just know that the you have the good will of the Ruskis and the Curry munchers.
May every step move you closer and that the weather holds out for you and your team. Go get it Tiger! You can do it and never doubt yourself! Just make sure that you take the easier route of the north-west ridge, don't let those dodgey sherpas take you south :))
Love and strength, Kuz and Nat
ps don't forget give us a wave when you are at the top... i'll be looking for ya!
I guess the hard work has really begun now Michaey.
Keep your eyes fixed on the goal.
( Climb with patience the race set before you - a paraphrase of a verse you know well.)
Much love
Mother and Dad
We are remembering you daily.
Love Aunty Heather & Uncle Derek.
Mikey,
Aidan has been doing his 'ridge walk' everyday in the hope that if you ever decide to do this again, you'll take him with you!!!
Good luck for the rest of the climb.
Love Marie, Anthony and Aidan

Congraatulations on arriving at Camp 1. The navigational skills using ropes on ladders looked awesome - we saw the small videa so this was no easy task I imagine.
You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Much love Mother & Dad

Speaking of subsiding, how is the package fairing?

MICHAEL YOUR SITE NEEDS UPDATING
MORE INFO. NEEDED
Dear Michael,
Hello from the world of art! I finally got into your website and I just want you to know your old gym buddy is thinking of you and wishing you all the success from camp 2 on for a great climb!

Hello Mike
All the best and good luck with the climb.Praying for you.

A wonderful photo Cedric - you ought to enlarge and phrame it.
A wonderful photo Cedric - you ought to enlarge and phrame it.
Acclimatisation is very difficult we imagine - moving backwards and forwards and covering the same difficult terrain. We can only say that we admire you. Go for it Michaey
Love
Dad & Mother
Place an order for any food you want and I'll bake up a storm for when you return (or take you to a restaurant!!!) That's yr mother speaking - Dad still has difficulty boiling an egg. Which reminds me - you don't get the water to boilin point I assume? so how do you avoid all those little nasties?
High Mike
Trust that your hemoglobin are working OT and starting to multiply quicker than a white whiskered Chinese corner deli store owner checking on his abacus how much change he should pay the little indian boy wanting a broom to do some house chores.
So you have reached Camp 2. It took a few years to get here (10 or so), but I hope that the time that it takes you to go from Camp 1, through Camp IV and prayfully to the top will be all within your current expeditions plans. You'll have to tell us all when you get back which segment the sherpas are now calling the Dunjey Step :))
As our mate Johnnie says, Keep walking! I bet the years with the boys have made you mentally tough enough to make it - and we all know the endurance you have. You can do it!
kuz
F-bang.
Back to base camp is better than sitting under or in an avalanche. Enjoy the additional rest time - we are thankful all of you are safe and trust the weather clears and the ice stays in place.
It seems patience as well as strength and determination are needed to reach the top and we believe you have all of these qualities.
Malcolm & Audrey
Hi Mike
Just letting you know I am thinking of you lots while you are on the mountain and I am still training hard on the hills of Dianella. I hope the megabars are going down well. The photos have been great although I was suprised to see some of the guys in shorts and thongs!!!!?? I am looking forward to more updates from your successful climb. K.Kras
Our dear Michael we are sobered by your account. We admire your courage and stickability
If knowing that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers helps then believe that that is so.
We love you and look forward,for your sake, to a successful summit and quick return.
We remember you used to survive on weetbix and vegemite for sustenance.I guess there's not much of that arround.
Much love
Dad & Mother
Hi Mikey -
It is SO hard to imagine what you are going through - and your tales of what you have been through and what you have already achieved are extraordinary! Know that we are all thinking of you constantly - praying you maintain your strength, wisdom and appetite! So remember - left foot, breath, swallow, right foot, breath, swallow.....
xo A. C.
We love you Michaey and you are always in our thoughts.
Lots of love
yr sister Christine
Trevor Benjamin Michael Sean Katie
You are very brave.
God be with you as you travel
We hope your appetite improves
You have already achieved more than most people.
Hi Mike. A few chuckles and butterflies in the somach is the lucky feeling of success. Take it from me. You are focused and have the picture in your mind and that means SUCCESS. The positive thoughts of your family and friends will keep up the strength in you and we all know that you have got what it takes. Keep on and on and on my friend. Our thoughts are there with you and the pain is shared by us all. Go Mate and don't look down! John Pikora.
Hi Michael,
Following your adventure,geat stuff!
Praying for your safety and success. Keep well. Eat plenty....we'll eat for you too!
Dunj,
I am rooting for you and your team to make it up there safetly. Update your website for May 3 and 4. Your website is very organized.
Mikey,
Congrats on reaching Camp 3. Only another 1500m to go. Just think - if you were on the track you would do it in about 4 mins 10 sec...
Wish you well for the next phase of the climb. Be careful of Sheeny if he's around - this is when he's at his most dangerous.
The Shauno
High Mike
So now that you've been in all 3 camps, which one are you going to put in an offer for?? some seeing some pics on the net, they might need a little work to make them a bit more homely :)
But seriously, hope that the legs are still strong, the appetite still healthy and above all, the mind still focused. As the wiseman AJ once said "got get 'em tiger"..... and incase you ever feel a bit tired and want to sit down (probably not :)) just think of Pete's gold finger under you, encouraging you to move forward.
Onwards and upwards!
Kuz
CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOU HAVE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE MICHAEL

Lizzie and me climbed to 1270m yesterday at Mt Wellington in Hobart in just 40 minutes (Yeah, OK it was in a hire car). It was freezing! We're back in the west today. Take care. Love from Liz and Lach.
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH MICHAEY.
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.
MAY GOD BLESS AND USE YOU - YOU ARE A ' WINNER ' AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED.
You have almost reached the top of the highest mountain in the world. How amazing. Despite sickness discomfort and pain you reached the 3rd camp. It's great to know that despite all your discomfort you were able to make your fellow climbers laugh and that you have left behind good friends.
We're also REALLY glad that you are coming home w. fingers and toes.
YOU ARE A CHAMPION.
Hey Michael!!! Way to go! Highest point so far - you're a champion! I hope all is going well and know you're persevering through the challenges. We're praying for you and thinking of you lots! Bless ya mate! ~ Emily & Peter

Hi Michael,
Do you remember our brief meeting at the Tony Robbins preview seminar a few years back? I've found a great church not far from Riverview, and my spiritual life is really starting to fire up. I hope your spiritual life is going well too; it's the only thing that really matters in the end :)
I noticed that Ricky Mui and Bruce Kelly have also visited here...
Best wishes

Michael Dunjey is recovering at his Manning home, but all 10
fingers have been damaged and the feeling in three is not
expected to return for six to nine months.
Rubbish, your fingers were only slightly frost nipped. Bearly beyound cold. They recovered within an hour. Come on!!
Frostbite struck on May 2 when Mr Dunjey was leading the
team up Lhotse Face — 100m below a rest camp at 7400m.
Again, rubbish. At about 6600m, just above Camp 2 at the start of teh Lhotse Face where you were at the back of the group.
Why all the bullshit!!
I got this web site from my buddy who shared with me about this web site and now this time I
