The Trek
The Outback Push Bike Trek is to ride from the RFDS base in Charleville to the RFDS office in Adelaide on push bike via the RFDS bases in Broken Hill and Port Augusta. The challenge is set to take place in September 2007, which allows you as a sponsor/supporter to take full advantage of the goodwill and marketing opportunities the trek provides and to raise as much money as possible for the RFDS.
The map below highlights the route that the trek will take.
The estimated time to complete the challenge will be around 28 days, and as indicated in the trek itinerary you can see the breakdown of the trip and travel times. The itinerary I believe is a conservative one that should allow for any unforseen circumstances, but also allows us more importantly to do donation collection / PR work with schools, local businesses etc while we are in the towns along the way and promote the RFDS organisation it’s sponsors and supporters.
The challenge of the trek symbolises the challenges outback living and working entails on a daily basis.
