Circumnavigating Australia - #4 cycling solo unsupported Devonport to Hobart #surlybikes #blackdog

in this episode I cycle from Devonport after getting off the Spirit of Tasmania, make my way to Launceston then St Helens before heading southbound along the A3 to Hobart.

Welcome to Lostdigger - join me whilst i take you on my bike packing adventures as I circumnavigate Australia (Nov 2023 start) on my Surly Ogre Touring bike, raising awareness for the "Black Dog". Ill thrive to live offgrid and free camp whilst travelling cross country, around all the byways, side tracks in between.

I was in the Australian Defence Force, and have been for the past 25 years. As I start this Youtube channel i'm going through a unplanned and suprising medical seperation from the ADF, due to a multitude of service related injuries.

After to lossing 12 close friends to suicide! all within 3 years, all from emergency services background, I want to bring awerness to the "Black Dog" that high profile occupations deal with, once they leave that career. They dont have that "community" they once had.I have come to release this is all a common dominator from professions that deal with high risk.

If you want me to travel certain areas whislt I discover Australia, or the world! send a message would luv to heasr from you.
