Fin: the second leg of the trip comes to an end. What do we think of Sydney, and how many people died during the building of the Harbour Bridge? Click here to find out.

After three months and three thousand kilometres, we get out of Australia and head to the world’s most under-rated country. Ahead of us, a knackered rental car with dodgy brakes, conspiracy-theorists and enough film locations to sink a battleship. Click here to see how we got on.

We save all the life-endangering drama of our epic 3,000km trip for the last day. Click here to find out what got killed and whether we’ve still got all our bits. Also: why “Dive” may be less a tourist activity and more a beginner’s guide to hostels in Cairns.

We fire ourselves out of Port Macquarie and visit Byron Bay, home of… Byron? Also, click here to see just how well the Australians do camping.

We visit what seems like the edge of Australia: 4,000 square miles of virtually nothing, within 110km of Australia’s most populous city. Click here to see if we fell off.
