Katherine to Kununurra

This video update, Katherine to Kununurra, is really a story of the people we met along the highway…

Sam, Karen and three kids from Nowra who have been on the road for two and a half years. Katie and Henley from the USA who are run/riding from Darwin to Adelaide on the dusty backroads. Jedda, the Principal at Timber Creek School who opened the doors to us on a Saturday. Leish and Tim, with another three kids, who pulled over for a two hour roadside lunch under their awning.

There’s also a grass fire that was trying really hard to be a proper bushfire, and an aggressive cockroach (you have to watch closely to see the sneak attack).

Oh, and Wilfy gets to say ‘bloody bike’ in a situation that warrants it.

Watch the video on Vimeo or YouTube to see how it went. Or see our progress on our Google Map.
