Eugen Schilter of Eastwood will attempt to ride around Australia in 56
Days.
Starting 1Aug, Total distance of 14,580km.

Is he taking a short cut? I think Australia's coastline is more like
30,000km and the road follows, roughly.

That would be via the recognised Highway 1 route, something over 14000kms.
The coastline takes an awful lot more bends and loops, and there's no road
(eg.the Kimberly coast)

Cheers
Peter
