| Mark with Andrea Alexander, Executive Officer for Children's Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation outside Princess Margaret Childrens Hospital in Perth |
| With cricket legend Justin Langer and Zari at Megazone inside Princess Margaret Children's Hospital for my send off on February 22nd. |
| Zari cutting my hair in preparation for the head shave to show my support and solidarity with all those children and adults who are battling cancer. |
| The sign says it all as I take a break in Bridgetown on my way to a nights stay in Manjimup at the Kingsley motel, courtesy of Jeanette Sturis (manager) who donated the room and meals. |
| Sacrafices along the way |
| Leaving my farm stay with Jim and Carol and the horses in Albany |
| Checking the map outside Albany |
| Still a long way to go as I leave Norseman at sunrise |
| The long and winding road |
| With Suzanne my homestay host at Balladonia Homestead. She and husband Allan were the good Samaritans who crossed the road and offered me a bed and food. |
| Just a small example of the flies that I have to contend with in outback Australia. I take my hat off to those who live in the outback. Try joining the dots! |
| A typical bush dinner of cold baked beans and tuna, washed down with water and a can of creamed rice if I'm celebrating. |
| Enjoying the view of the curved horizon as I head down the escarpment to Madura 1800km from Perth. At Madura Roadhouse, my 3 wheel buggy is dwarfed by a typical Road Train some 36 metres long. |
| Crossing the border into South Australia after walking 1935km across Western Australia. |
| With "Rooey" the giant kangaroo at Border Village Roadhouse, SA/WA border, after exactly one month of walking across Western Australia. |
| Camping on the treeless plains of the Nullabor. There is a zen beauty about the minimalist scenery of this area. I am thankful there wasn't a strong wind through the night with so little protection. |
| Walking the gentle undulations of the Nullabor is certainly not boring. People who say it is are (travelling?) going too fast. |
| Many thanks to the Yalata Aboriginal people who shared their beautiful land with me. The Mallee at sunset will be with me always. |
| My donated accommodation at the Gawler Ranges Motel and Caravan Park at Wudinna, truly an oasis on my journey across this wide brown land. |
