Did you know it takes around 30 days 9 hours and 59 minutes to ride around Australia?

Imagine being so totally alone (except for the dude following you in a car so you don't cheat) like that. Just you, your bike, and the beautiful country all around you (and a dude following you in a car to make sure you don't cheat)
Must've been great.
skipping that peninsula in the north feels like cheating tho
Dude cheated the cliffs around Wollongong 0/10
That peninsula has a name, you know.
...I mean, I couldn't say it off the top of my head, but it does have a name!
(it's the Cape York Peninsula, apparently. Apparently the population there is still 60% Indigenous, and they've successfully won native title rights to 45% of the land. The peninsula is largely coterminous with the traditional extent of the Paman languages, one of the two main branches of Pama-Nyungan, the largest language family in Australia — and among the Paman languages is Guugu Yimithirr, the language the word "kangaroo" is from. The Cape York Peninsula is also home to a number of Indigenous sign languages, and there is even a dialect of Auslan heavily borrowing from these, spoken by Deaf Indigenous people on the peninsula. Way cool!)
You may as well try to ride a bike through the Darien Gap. That shit gives First Nations scouts trouble.
Far north Queensland is a whole thing. Can't really ride a bike the whole way around I'd think.
