“I really just love travelling by bike. It gives an incredible connection with people and the land.”
Kate Leeming

This is the teaser for a 4×60 min TV series about my recent Breaking the Cycle Across Australia expedition.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR INVESTORS

Synopsis: Explorer and expedition cyclist, Kate Leeming faced continual curveballs – a broken collarbone, widespread unseasonal flooding, major mechanical breakdowns, extreme weather, rough tracks, faint paths, COVID-19 interstate border closures and exhaustion – to make what is probably the first fatbike journey from Australia’s most easterly point, Cape Byron, to its most westerly, Steep Point.

Completed on 19th September 2023, Kate’s voyage of discovery, 8617km through the rugged interior, was to gain a close, grounded perspective of the outback while connecting with and listening to the stories and aspirations of First Nations elders and their remote communities.
