About

G'day! My name is Chris Macfarlane, I’m a 23 year old from the lovely town of St. Andrews and on the 1st of November 2022 I start my 6000km walk from the Melbourne CBD all the way up to Cape York, the most northern point of Australia. This should take roughly 10 months to complete.

My three main goals of this walk are:
⁃ Fulfill a lifelong dream of mine to explore the world around me
⁃ Raise money and awareness for two charities that are important to me
⁃ Meet new people and interact with the towns that i pass through

To help me achieve these goals, I will be using a kids bike trailer with a front wheel attachment (It's a big pram). I'm bringing a tent, sleeping bag, portable stove, camera, drone, solar panel and even a guitar! That's right, since i wont have a job to fund this trip I'll be using my savings and the money I make busking throughout the country. I'm going to have so much time on my hands to write more songs about my experiences throughout this beautiful world.
