Beginning in the small town of Denham, Western Australia, my journey will follow the southern coastline as much as possible all the way to Cape Byron, New South Wales.  I will pass through four states and experience a huge variety of environments.  Passing through large cities like Perth and Sydney will be an overload to my senses compared to the barren emptiness of the Nullabor Plain.  When mapping out the trip, I have calculated the total distance to be about 8,000kms but in reality it could be much more or much less.  This is based on following the coastline pretty closely which is the aim.  If however there are any problems or time restrictions this plan could be shortened.  On the other hand, if I am able to cover more distance per day than anticipated, then I can take a longer route and visit more places.

Below is a list of the places that I will be passing through.  This list gives a rough idea of where I will be at the end of each day, based on riding 100km per day, so it really is just a rough estimate.  On many days I believe I'll cover a much further distance, especially in the areas where there are no towns, e.g. the Nullabor.  On other days, I may cover less if I give talks in few schools, if I fancy a rest day, if something needs fixing, or if I fancy eating cake all day.  It really is a flexible plan but also a guideline to make arrangements in advance.

I'll be starting the adventure on the 25th of August 2017 if all goes to plan, and hopefully reach the end around the beginning/middle of November.

Some of the places listed below may be nothing other than a fuel station on a road, or not even that.  They are just listed to give an idea of the area I'll be in.
