Season 1 Episode 41
I had the absolute pleasure to catch up with Claire Wyatt and have her talk about her amazing cycle tour around Australia. Fans of the show will recognise Claire from a previous episode where we chatted about how bicycle touring has become a way of life. Claire was partway through her trip of Australia then, having completed the entire east coast from Tasmania to the Atherton Tablelands. In this episode we fill in the gaps from what came next as Claire made her way across to the Northern Territory, Darwin, then cycled straight down the middle of Australia, visiting Uluru on her way to the very bottom of South Australia, From there she cycled west, across the Nullabor and then finished her ride in Perth, Western Australia.
It's a huge trip of around 15,000km -and one which saw Claire often take the road less travelled. She had long stretches of isolation on this route, and had to carry water and food which would last multiple days between services. She wild camped and battled the heat, relentless gale forced headwinds as well as the cold of the desert through winter time. It was a truly monumental journey and I got a real sense of the spirit of adventure Claire has, as she retold her story, sharing her experiences in this interview.
