Serge hasn\u2019t even done 500m when he fell down. His legs feel like cotton \u2013wool. He has to lie down. We worry about him. He does look in a bad state. Time goes by very slowly but he seems to recover. He sits for a bit before setting off again, but walking this time.<\/p>\n

After a good start this morning Serge seems to slow down, he allows himself a little rest, the time to drink some hot tea just offered to him. He is drenched to the skin but this seems to boost him.<\/p>\n

Even if the sky is still grey, it has stopped raining. We are at the bottom of the Australian Blue Mountains. Serge is either climbing or going down slopes. All the members of the crew are busy preparing the arrival in Sydney. We have already started to empty the vehicles and sort out the equipment.<\/p>\n

As for Serge, he is answering the journalists\u2019 questions.<\/p>\n

In May, we had changed the initial route for this one which still doesn\u2019t satisfy us but the roads which link the Blue Mountains to Sydney are all the same, narrow and dangerous<\/p>\n

Farms cover about two-thirds of N. S. W. Principal crops are wheat, oat, corn, rice Sugarcane and grapes are also grown as well as citrus fruits. Grazing and livestock raising are major industries. Mining is one of the most important industries in N. S. W ( gold, silver, lead, tin, coal, zinc\u2026 ). The state produces about one-third of Australian exports and half of it is sent to Asia and to the Pacific. Forest area is estimated at 15 million hectares ( 37, 5 million acres ).
