One wheeled wonders give Graham tips for his rural ride

After 78 days in the saddle, unicycling maestros Anna and David became well accustomed to life in the bush having battled exploding tyres, bruised body parts, and mischeivous mice as they travelled from Darwin to Adelaide for Little Heroes Foundation.

On Thursday May 9, David and Anna joined LHF and Graham Manou at the Bombay Bicycle Club to share their stories and left Graham with some pearls of wisdom before he set off for Darwin that evening to complete the same journey.

Unfortunately Graham and his team have had to postpone their ride after three days on the road but they are determined that this will not be the last time they visit the Stuart Highway.
