The Home Stretch: Cycling Across Australia, Kempsey to Coffs Harbour
My latest bicycle touring update from Australia: after cycling over 8,000 miles across the world to Australia from the UK, I’m now on the home stretch. Cycling across Australia. Kempsey to Coffs Harbour. 68 miles. A very uneventful day. I’d finished cycling by two o’clock. After finishing so early, I spent the rest of the day in my room uploading photos to the website. Even today’s photo is from last week when I was in the Blue Mountains.
There are only four days left until I finish, so please don’t forget the main reason behind my ride, which is to raise as much money for cancer research charities as possible. You can donate to Cancer Research UK or the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation. Click on either one to donate. Even the smallest donation helps.
