Day 358, Monday, 22 March, 2010. On the ‘ About. Page of our website we mention the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney has a bike on display ridden around Australia in 1899 by Donald Mackay . Our discovery of this bicycle in 2008 became another piece of our justification that it was practical for us to undertake the same journey in 2009. The only conclusion Denise and I can draw from reading about his journey is that he was a very tough and determined character. Day 359, Tuesday, 23 March, 2010.

Day 167, Saturday, 12 September, 2009. Distance travelled 110.9 km. Avg speed 17.0 kph. Max speed 30.8 kph. Bush Camp to Roebourne. We passed our first flowering Sturt Desert Peas this morning and just in case we did not see them in flower again we stopped next to a small patch outside Whim Creek to take some photos. We needn’t have worried, as there were many patches along the road to Roebourne. We made it to Roebourne 30 minutes before sunset after a terribly windy last 40 km.

Day 293, Saturday, 16 January, 2010. Distance travelled 37.3 km. Avg speed 13.7 kph. Max speed 31.1 kph. An easy day into the Melbourne CBD for another capital city photo and then off to catch the Spirit of Tasmania across to Tasmania. As we passed through security and rode up to the ticket office we were surprised to be greeted with Oh you must be Mr and Mrs Arundel , which made us feel a bit special. It turned out we were the only bicycles booked on for the evening trip.

Day 305, Thursday, 28 January, 2010. Distance travelled 50.2 km. Avg speed 12.9 kph. Max speed 46.2 kph. Riding along the bitumen we thought we could hear the sea and when we reached the turnoff to Granville Harbour we found we had a good view of the ocean. The rest of the ride into Zeehan was up and down with some pretty big hills. The hard work in riding these was tempered by the magnificent scenery, especially that of Mt Heemskirk.
