Our route, step by step
of 15,000 km · 39% of the way across and around Australia
The crossing is done and we are now turning south from Perth, heading around the southern coast to Adelaide. Keep up the great work. We will continue to tally and push the limits of how far our Australian movers can go.
If it were all on foot, that is roughly 7,736,995 steps. Every kilometre from every walk, run, ride and swim moves the marker along the road. Totals update the moment you log an activity, and weekly leaderboards reset each Monday.

Walking with Will
“I like to walk with my mum and dad, just keeping moving keeps me calm. I like to walk where I can see pelicans and highland cattle.”
Will is now 24, and was diagnosed at 14. He lives on the Sunshine Coast with his parents and twin sister Ella. He has two highland cattle, Rocky and Freddie, and loves pelicans.
