The tall guy

There are almost eight billion people on this crowded planet; some of us like to be individuals while others prefer to simply blend in. Charles Wooley meets Kewal Shiels, a young man who has no such choice. He stands out by standing head and shoulders above the world. At 2.21 metres – seven foot three on the old scale – he is Australia’s tallest man. With no medical condition to account for his height, doctors say Kewal is simply the recipient of a lucky – or unlucky – hand in life.
