"My Dad worked in the transport industry and his aim became to see as much of Australia through his work as he could. So much so that given the choice he took the job that sent him in a direction he had never been, on roads he had never driven. For years a map held its place on a wall at home, each time he returned, he would trace the line of any new roads while I looked on with admiration. Ten years later and in a devastating fashion, it was this line of work that served to remind everyone of the risks. On July 22nd, 2003 my father was travelling South on the Newell Highway bound for Melbourne. At 10.20pm that evening he rounded a bend near the town of Moree, in that same moment, two trucks, the one travelling in front and another travelling North collided. Together they were out of control and left Dad with nowhere to go, he died instantly. I've had the image of that map in my mind for years now and consequently it has become my aim to complete it, to join the bold lines and travel to those parts of Australia he so longed to see." I can say hand on heart that each stage of The Bold Line was completed to honour Dad, keep his memory alive and fulfil his dream. After 21,000kms on the road and some of the best experiences of my life, it's time to take The Bold Line in a new direction and keep the dream alive.
