Cycle Across Oz

[Benno]

I have been riding around Australia for the past 5 months with a group I found from Melbourne. We set off from Melbourne on March 23 and will arrive back in Melbourne on Sep 2 having passed through Cairns, Darwin, Broome and Perth. We just crossed the Nulllabor a few days ago which has probably been the most demanding part of the ride and an achievement in itself! The trip has been absolutely amazing and I have seen so much of Australia including the land, it's people and the wildlife. Check out the link to my blog if you are interested:

I have been fundraising for a charity known as 'Blazeaid', a volunteer-based organisation that works with families and individuals in rural Australia after natural disasters such as fires and floods. Since i work for Rabobank who finances farmers, there has been great support from all the branches I have been visiting along the way. Check out the article covering my trip on the Blazeaid website:

Any donations would be very welcome. Check out the link to the fundraising website:
