Wildfires in Australia...

Australia. A sunburned country. 



For those who don't know Australia is suffering from a huge drought. Everything is extremely dry and most of it on fire, like this site.  So on my 125 km ride today I came across at least half a dozen fires like this. 


Wildfires as most of you know move very quickly; faster than any person or animal for that matter can run. As I rode through the smoke and haze, I must have seen over 100 kangaroo carcasses on the road. Many of the animals were trying to escape the fire and hopped onto the freeway, and subsequently got hit by trucks and cars. It was a very sad sight indeed as I rode into Bowen, 1200 km north of Brisbane. 

In the picture above I decided to stop traffic, as this fire was about to blow across the road. 

As you can see this twilight picture is one of the many  surreal moments of riding around our fragile globe.

                   My Journey

    I am a fire captain and cancer survivor.
    ​ I have now cycled around  the earth  by bicycle for cancer charity, but my journey is not over. I followed the rules of Guinness global 0circumnavigation. Same bike, same direction, cross two antipodal points, the equator and cover at least 29,000 km.  My final legs were crossing Australia north to south and east to west across the deserts bringing the total countries crossed to fifteen and a distance of 29,000 km over 10 years. The journey now continues to the most desolate and highest points of the earth.  email:
