Having spent a large part of my adult life in close proximity to Cliffy's dairy farm, I understand the terrain he trained in. This humble little guy epitomizes the Aussie spirit, don't give a shit about the accolades, just get's on with life. The phrase " Gandhi in Gum boots ", could not be more appropriate, rest in peace mate...

I too have a wonderful memory and understand the terrain he trained in which enlightens my dementia, it was a time when I was driving from Sydney to Melbourne to adopt the less fortune children, when I looked to my right a saw an unforgiving sight, Cliff young was butt naked lying on the floor having a nap. this story bring tears to my eyes because he reminded me of the hot furry man which lived in the Sewerage underneath my house. I will always keep Cliff in a warm place in my heart, not because he won the race (as incredible as that was), but for the beautiful, caring person he was.

The fact that not only did he blow the record out of the water but all the other runners also beat the previous record is amazing!

He died at 81. My parents just turned 81 and have won any ultra marathons in their lives.

Good old Cliffy the farmer in the gumboots. I remember him well and his achievements. A fair dinkum BLOKE who put everyone to shame by his humility and effort.

To call Cliff a legend would not be right. He was far more than a legend. That one early wake up call likely won him the race. But only he could have gone on all those hours on very little to no sleep. Dont think i will ever complain about a bad night again.

Great achievement. But running among cars... Doesn't look like something many people would like to do. Wouldn't call it worthy adventure anyway.

I often see him driving around in his Rolls Royce convertible with personalised number plates. Something like LAWS1 from memory. Always a bit of a merchant banker
