#4x4 #explore #adventure  Thomas Foo - 4x4 World Explorer, Biker and Adventurer  Thomas 'Tango' Foo is a biker, off-roader, explorer, traveler, relief worker and entrepreneur, having spent over three decades crisscrossing all seven continents wherever his trusty Toyota Landcruiser will take him and his merry band of friends and fellow explorers.  Thomas' life is an inspiring story of courage and heart, a pursuit of his passion for adventure and travel while spreading a message of peace, love and harmony all around the world as ambassadors for Malaysia and anyone else who believes in living life to the fullest.  Not for everyone is this life but for those brave enough to embrace it, the world and its pleasures are there, available, and for free.  (I consider myself privileged to have seen one small part of this wonderful world with Thomas and hope there will be many more.) “He who is brave is free”  -- Seneca (As always, many thanks to the Asia School of Business for their collaboration with The Do More Podcast, in whose studio this conversation was recorded.

Dr Kate Lemming, OAM is an expedition cyclist. She cycled more than twice the Earth's circumference, and completed journeys on all seven continents.   Kate has many incredible firsts and feats to her name:  She was the first woman to cycle across Russia unsupported, the first person to cycle an unbroken line from Africa's most westerly to its most easterly point, the first person to cycle the entire Namibian coastline.She's cycled around and across Australia and was the first woman to cycle the Canning Stock Route.   Kate's latest challenge, Breaking the Cycle South Pole, will result in the first bicycle crossing of the Antarctic continent via the South Pole (2023).   There's more to Kate's story than doing epic bike trips in far flung corners of the globe! Previously a teacher, Kate includes a humanitarian side to all of her expeditions and has established a platform called: Breaking the Cycle Education, which aims to help prepare our future leaders to make informed decisions to create a better world.  Earlier in the year, Kate was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her services to adventure sport and just a couple of weeks ago she received the Australian Geographic Society's Spirit of Adventure award.  Kate and I talk about growing up in rural WA, her first expedition across Russia, how she comes up with ideas for her expeditions, her humanitarian work, her recent cycle from East to West of Australia, how she funds and pulls these trips together and her advice for those with an adventurous soul.   Kate is nothing short of incredible. I loved getting to know her. And you will too!

Kate has cycled a distance greater than twice around the world at the Equator. On August 16th 2010 she became the first person to cycle an unbroken line from Africa’s most westerly to its most easterly points; from Pointe des Almadies, Senegal to Cape Hafun, Puntland, Somalia. Cycling 22,040 km over ten months, Kate’s Breaking the Cycle in Africa Expedition was not only a physical quest but an odyssey to highlight the development needs and activities of war-torn and poverty-stricken nations. Cycling through twenty countries, Kate aimed to find out what is being done to give a ‘leg up’ rather than a ‘hand out’ – to shine a positive light on the issues, cultures and geography of Africa. Kate has two earlier world firsts under her belt – the Trans-Siberian Cycle Expedition (1993) when she became the first woman to cycle across the new Russia unsupported (aiding the children of Chernobyl), and the 25,000km Great Australian Cycle Expedition (2004/05) which included the first bicycle crossing of the Canning Stock Route by a woman. In June 2019, Kate completed another original expedition when she became the first person to cycle the entire Namibian coastline, a 1621km sand cycling expedition from the mouth of the Kunene River on the Angolan border to the Orange River mouth on the South African border. Kate’s latest challenge, Breaking the Cycle South Pole, will result in the first bicycle crossing of the Antarctic continent via the South Pole (2020). The Breaking the Cycle education programme aims to help prepare our future leaders to make informed decisions to create a better world. Students across the globe can follow her preparatory activities and Antarctic expedition and partake in the Breaking the Cycle Education learning modules and lessons with the end goals of creating their own projects.

Gościem naszego dzisiejszego podcastu jest Mateusz Waligóra - pierwszy człowiek na świecie, który w 58 dni przeszedł samotnie pustynię Gobi - drugą po Saharze największą pustynię świata. Mateusz to specjalista od wyczynowych wypraw w najbardziej odludne miejsca planety. Na koncie poza samotnym przejściem pustyni Gobi ma też rowerowy trawers najdłuższego pasma górskiego świata – Andów, samotny rowerowy przejazd przez najtrudniejsza drogę wytyczoną na ziemi – Canning Stock Route w Australii, oraz samotny pieszy trawers największej solnej pustyni świata – Salar de Uyuni w Boliwii W dzisiejszym podcaście porozmawiamy z nim między innymi o tym, czego boi się samotny człowiek na pustyni i po co ludzie wyruszają w tak ekstremalne wyprawy.

John Foulsham joined us to talk about his book "A Bushwalking Brew".  The book looks at the trials and joys of Australian bushwalking. John overlanded to Perth from England in 1969 and became a bushwalker. Long walks in Tasmania, the Stirling Ranges, Kokoda, and his epic journey with Murray Rankin on the Canning Stock Route in 1973 are described and illustrated in this book.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

What sort of vehicle should you have? What sort of mods do you need? What is a medical envelope and why do you need one? What effect do the dunes have? What are some of the common mistakes people make? Camper Trailer - Yes or No? How much drinking water do you need? Where is fuel available? How often does the Canning get graded? What causes the Canning? What are the entry and exit points of the Canning? When is the best time to travel? What advice is there for first timers? What are the top 3 things to see on the Canning Stock Route? Where are the big sand dunes? Are there many abandoned vehicles on the track? A massive thanks to Phil for sharing all of his great advice on the history and how to drive this amazing Australian track.  

Between 1,500 and 2,000 a year do the Canning Stock Route.  What is there to see and what is there to do when travelling the CSR. We talk with Canning Stock Route expert, Phil Binachi about the activities and attractions on the stock route. The dune systems are an amazing site and an amazing driving experience.  There is a large amount of aboriginal art some of which is incredibly old.  There are of course, the wells and a number of graves. We discuss the work of Track Care and how they are working to maintain the tracks.  Phil talks about how the 4 wheel drivers are working together with conservationalists to ensure ongoing access to the tracks.  We discuss the concept of 4WD Tourism and the effect that it has on the economy of Australia as a whole and for rural towns in particular.  We talk about the access to the Canning Stock Route.  What parts are open and which parts are effected by the weather.  We answer the big question - how long should you take to do the Canning Stock Route and which way should you travel the Canning? North to South or South to North, which way should you go?  Phil talks about where you can get your repairs done, which is a bit factor in travelling the Canning.  It is 1,800kms and there is a high chance of vehicle damage, so thinking about repairs is an important part of doing the Canning.

Phil Bianchi is a historian and 4 wheel driver who has documented a lot of history of the Canning Stock Route and he has driven the route many times.  From Wiluna to Halls Creek, it runs 1850 kms and was first surveyed in 1906. We discuss Alfred Canning and his initial trip to survey the Canning Stock Route and the expedition to build the stock route. The history of the Canning Stock Route is fascinating, with murders, sabotage,Beef barons and a Royal Commission.  We talk about the initial survey and the Royal Commission that followed.  Some of the documents from these early times are still locked up in Government Departments. In 1908, Canning started construction creating a lot of issues with the local Aboriginals.  This is a fascinating discussion about the history of this iconic 4 wheel drive track.  

This week on the second episode of the Australian 4WD Touring podcast, we chat with Phil Bianchi, who has written books on the Canning Stock Route as well as travelled it several times himself. We discuss what you need to take, how long to go, issues that you may face or need to understand before heading out on one of the most remote tracks in Australia.
