Mr Weeks is now Australia's 3rd oldest verified man ever.
He sits behind the quite recently new record holder - Dexter Kruger at 111-188 - who died in 2021.
And the prior record holder Jack Lovelock at 111-123, who passed away in 2002.
Happy 111th birthday Ken Weeks.
Congratulations and Happy 111th Birthday to Mr Weeks.
Great to see Australia's oldest person back above the 111 age barrier.

Hopefully Mr. Weeks can break Mr. Kruger's record in slightly over half a year's time!
Happy 111th birthday, Mr. Weeks!
At this stage I cannot find anything in our local (Australian) newspapers, nor internet articles.
