Rudy Down Under:Au:4

“If you ever cycle across Australia: Be warned south of Brisbane along the coast, the flies and bugs are relentless. Worse than Burma or Thailand where the mosquitoes carried Dengue and Malaria. They need protein to breed. They get protein from your tears, saliva, the mucus in your nose — and from blood, if you have any fresh cuts. – I rigged up a cool face bug net after swallowing several flies and one stuck way up my sinus. I think they breed on the cow dung and kangaroo carcasses that litter the roadways in many areas. I minimum speed of 15-20 MPH outruns them a real motivator to keep going. Cycling around the earth for cancer charity, feel free to friend me Rudy Pospisil[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Picture

Late 2015  I continued my bike ride around the world in my 15th Country, Australia. I started  where the paved road ends near the northernmost point in Australia’s Daintree Rainforest and made my way south   ending 4500 km later in the southernmost point in Melbourne. I now travel to new Zealand to cycle from the southernmost point at Cape Waipapa Point Lighthouse to the northernmost point at Cape Reinga 2200 km and 14000 meters of climbing.
See map and schedule below.
