Perth : 8 am Serge is on the starting line, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. He looks tense. His strained face shows the stress of getting everything ready as well as the doubt of being up to the job, after 46.7 miles, he takes a break. He has a headache : he suffers from sunstroke. But he has 5.5 miles left to get to the camp and to finish the stage. What a relief ! Cars and road trains ceaselessly going past were wearing him out.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-australia-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/a_serge3_upscayl_2x_realesrgan-x4plus.jpg” title_text=”a_serge3_upscayl_2x_realesrgan-x4plus” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”]

Serge starts at the crack of dawn to take advantage of the coolness of the early hours. The rubbing between his toes and against the shoe is very painful. Clouds gather over our heads. Tonight, we\u2019ll camp in Cunderlin in a caravan park, under the rain.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”]

For the first time, he feels tendinous pains and his toes hurt terribly. His body is not used to the required effort yet and sends messages from all over. This evening, Serge eats on his own.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-australia-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/a_serge22-1.png” title_text=”a_serge22″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”]

Serge is at the end of his tether today. He knows he isn\u2019t much ahead of schedule.

Tiring day for everybody : filling up all the cans with gas oil, petrol, water and tightening them up on the racks. At 8pm, in the dark, some of us are still at it. Even if he stays concentrated on his route without anything to say, his doubts have gone away with the first strides.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||-25px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||75px||false|false” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#C80098″ border_style_top=”dotted” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” custom_margin=”||-25px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-australia-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/a2perth_upscayl_2x_realesrgan-x4plus.jpg” title_text=”a2perth_upscayl_2x_realesrgan-x4plus” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_free_form=”selector{text-align: center;}” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#C80098″ header_text_color=”#C80098″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”]
