G'day all. Just thought I'd post a little story I found scavenging the web yesterday. Check out the website given below:

http://www.transaustralia.ch/

This French fella has sailed from Bowen (Queensland) to Geraldton (WA), well pedaled a fair bit as well to cross the country for a little adventure.

If anyone wants a translated copy of his journal/diary of the crossing leave me a message and Ill happily send it to you (the translation was done using an online tool so it may be a little off in places but you'l get the general idea). Have fun, catch you all later.

EDIT: I found this after seeing Gizmo's post 'Landyachts from around the world'

interesting site. Caught out by the lack of suspension on the rear axle as you would expect. Cant for the life of me work out why such fat tyres . he was sailing /pedaling on good roads. They must have slowed him down incredibly. Top effort tho. alot to be learnt for landyacht builders
