Welcome to my website for the 3,100 km
BIKING FOR BOOKS cycle trip from Adelaide to Darwin. As well as a wonderful and challenging ride, we raised awareness for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, as well as funds for their various programmes. Although I am awaiting final totals from the ILF, I think the amount will have exceeded our goal of $10,000 and be around $12,000. We also distributed books along the way to libraries and schools in remote areas with particularly high numbers of indigenous people. We met some fabulous people doing great things and learnt a whole lot more about the problems faced in these areas. I now have a better understanding of the wonderful work the Indigenous Literacy Foundation does and I know we have raised a greater awareness of this Foundation from the number of people our journey has reached. Special thanks to the many supporters and donors to the ILF. As you read this website - feel free to click on the adverts for our supporters, in turn this will help the ILF.
