Heath has three sisters, Olivia, Kate, and Ashleigh, yet being the only man in the house, besides his dad, he says he doesn’t mind having three sisters, and that he has no problem handling girls, thanks to his sisters. Sadly, Heath’s parents ended their marriage when he was only ten years old. ...

His friend, whom agreed to go along with him, was Heath’s main reason for making it to Sydney, Australia. ...
