Imagine being so totally alone (except for the dude following you in a car so you don't cheat) like that. Just you, your bike, and the beautiful country all around you (and a dude following you in a car to make sure you don't cheat)

Must've been great.

You can't drive around the coast there, let alone ride a bike.

Here are the existing roads which are impassable half the year during the wet season.

The real cop out is riding the inland route between Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney, instead of going up the south eastern coast.

Still 500 km / 300 miles every day for 30 days is pretty impressive.
