description About

On the final leg of the journey, Ross rides to Karratha, a town where the demand for houses is so high that many people live in shipping containers. Ross travels on to Darwin, where he has a close encounter with a poisonous snake, and then across to Mount Isa, where he has a go at mining. As Ross enters Queensland the weather changes for the worse, and riding through relentless rain wears his patience very thin. Luckily, the Mackay Show, with its agricultural excitement and family fun, is not far away. Even the suicidal public announcer is not enough to ruin Ross’s mood. Next stop is Rockhampton, the beef capital of Australia. This small town has a bull statue on every street corner and the local amusement is to steal the bulls’ balls! It is then time for the last push, as Ross heads to Brisbane to perform his final gig and reflect on his extraordinary journey.
