Listen now
Description
Adam and Ron talk us through their journey from the border crossing of Indonesia and Timor Leste, as well as their trek across the outback of Australia, starting in Darwin. Smiling children helped them get through the tougher days and the beautiful coastline on the way to Dili kept spirits up. They got to visit the ChildFund offices in Timor Leste and were made to feel like part of the team there, which also gave Ron & Adam further insight into the amazing work that ChildFund does. Ron & Adam were really humbled and impressed seeing the passion that people have to commit to the growth of their communities in Timor Leste. Thanks to the New Zealand Embassy for hosting us in Dili too.  They chat about the excitement about arriving in Darwin, a friendly interaction with border patrol and a sense of relief in being able to communicate in English. Headwinds & long days were made better by having cold water on the bike & having a warm shower at the end of a day. Thanks to the kind souls that hosting us along the way! If you want to cycle across the Outback, this is the episode to listen to! Ron & Adam have a few interesting stories and experiences that they share in this episode.  Listen up if you want to hear the names of Adam's two future children & remember to donate to ChildFund if you can! www.racetorugbyworldcup.com
