When a car crashed into a local fish and chip shop in Brisbane, it was the birth of a viral sensation we all know as Daniel McConnell. The man from Hendra became a global hit due to his laid back personality when he appeared on the Today Show and Sunrise.

The Hitz 939 breakfast show of Bryce and Trace managed to be one of the only breaky shows in the country to get a hold of him on the morning of the accident outside of TV land and after one conversation with Daniel, they got some goss that he hadn’t revealed to anyone else that morning.

Daniel revealed he was born in the Bundaberg Region so they thought why not bring him home.

Daniel attended Hitz 939’s Christmas Party last Friday night then on Saturday was a guest of honour at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, a title not taken lightly in the region. The guys are now in talks to hold a charity fundraiser for getting youth off the streets with Daniel.

Check out the video of Daniel’s return home to the Bundy region:
