The Plan
The plan is now set. We'll be lapping Australia anticlockwise hitting all mainland extremities of Australia. Why anti-clockwise? No idea, although it does mean we will do less kilometres then going clockwise (think about it).
We've done a lot of the mapping and planning now. The trip looks like it will be about 20,000km, averaging a bit over 300km per day over the 60 days to get around Australia. Sounds easy enough!
We will also add a SPOT tracking page once the trip starts so you can see where we are at. You can find out about these neat little devices here.
