Cycling from Melbourne to Darwin via Central Australia: Laura Bastioli

This week we are being taken on a bike tour from Melbourne through the centre of Australia. Guest Laura Bastioli shares her experiences on an adventure which has so far taken her to Alice Springs. 

We discuss how she got into bikepacking in the first place, what it was like to see iconic sights like the Great Ocean Road and Uluru, as well as a very challenging time dealing with muddy roads on the Mawson Trail. Laura shares how she has dealt with equipment failures, what it's like to cycle in the sparse Australian Outback and what she is looking forward to as she continues the journey onto Darwin.
