Flight Centre co-founder 'Skroo' Turner, on being the accidental entrepreneur, dumping his professional career at 24, to start cheap double-decker bus tours through Europe to Afghanistan, mainly to have fun. It became his 1st business empire.

Graham Skroo Turner was bitten hard by the travel bug. Twice. Creating and building not 1 but 2 business empires specialising in travel. There’s the massive, now publicly listed Flight Centre, which operates in 24 countries, and writes billions of dollars in travel sales each year. But then there is another empire he built, from scratch, with the help of a few mates back in the early 1970’s, at just 24 years of age while travelling in London: his 1st babythe cheap European bus tours group Topdeck Travel. This boy who grew up on a Queensland apple orchard, started Topdeck with just one converted double decker bus. But he transformed it into a thriving business, soon running a fleet of some 70 buses across Europe, North Africa and Asia.,
