Explorer and expedition cyclist, Kate Leeming will pedal the breadth of Australia, following a unique and challenging route; three sections of the journey have never been cycled before. She will trace the tracks of intrepid pioneers, engage with First Nations leaders committed to conserving their cultural knowledge and encounter the nature that survives, even thrives, in some of the world’s most remote deserts.

Beginning at Cape Byron, (NSW) Australia’s most easterly point, Kate’s epic 7500km fat-bike journey will take her across the continent’s sunburnt interior to its most westerly tip, Steep Point (WA). This is a behind the scenes look at her journey across the Land Down Under.
