From Cave Dweller to Our Next National Icon: Meet Australia's Ultimate Larrikin
In 2000, entrepreneur Dick Smith placed an April Fool’s ad in the Herald Sun. “Wanted: Adventurer to live in a cave in the Himalayas for 48 days and only eat Dick Smith’s Peanut Butter.”
Why? To take on the multinationals and support Aussie farmers.
It was supposed to be nothing more than a publicity stunt. But 30 people applied anyway.
What happened next became legendary.
“Dick meant it to be a joke, but I hitch-hiked up to Sydney and presented myself at his office,” Cavie said. “So he had no choice but to go through with it!”
For 44 days, Cavie lived in a remote cave at the foot of Mt. Everest, sustained by peanut butter, jelly crystals, and the occasional biscuit. Armed with a satellite phone, he conducted over 100 live interviews with Australian media. A Current Affair, 2UE, ABC, 3AW, 2GB, Herald Sun — everyone wanted to check in on “the peanut butter cave man.”
So why 44 days, not 48 days? “I got hungry!” said Cavie.

And that’s just the beginning of Cavie’s career. He’s a comedian, actor, TV presenter (hosting On the Water for three years), and a live commentary announcer for powerboat races, soap box derbies, and mechanical bull riding competitions. He even once launched his own tomato sauce brand, “Caveman’s Dead Horse.” How Aussie is that?
