  Riding Around Australia
A YOTS supporter is about to head off for a two year adventure horse riding around Australia, and is seeking sponsorship for her travels. Heidi Douglas is leaving on the 1st October 2006 from Heallesville Victoria and travelling north on the Bicentennial National Trail with 4 horses. When she gets to Townsville she will swap 2 horses for 2 camels (because they drink far less and they can carry 250 litres of water each!) and head west across the Top End. Heidi will travel south west down the Canning Stock Route and into Perth. She will then go east across the Nullarbor Plain and swap back the camels for horses, and ride along the Murray river to Echuca and then south to Melbourne. If nothing goes wrong it will take Heidi about 2 years, as she is planning to travel at an average of 35km a day and ride 5 days and rest 2.
