Shaun Powell lives in South Africa. Mike, Max, Mick, Ross, Ruth, Chris, Sally plus a few million others live in Australia. One day they all got together. This is a brief depiction of our first ever International RAT Run as Shaun Powell from South Africa traveled to OZ.

And so it ended with Shaun becoming the first true International RAT. He said "later mates", got on a jet and headed home. But, he went home with a book full of memories and a lot of great new friends. All just to become a RAT! Perhaps? Or just perhaps this planet of ours is getting smaller and smaller.
