3000+km by bicycle between Darwin and Adelaide to inspire you to realise your dreams.

I aim to inspire others to realise their dreams no matter how big or small they are, like starting a new business, making a life change or setting up for that travel bucket list.

What is One Dream Down ?

One Dream Down is an inspirational campaign.

I want to share with you how transformative it can be to realise your dreams and how I prepare to realise mine

… and may be down the track that can help you see how you could prepare to realise yours (could it?).

So I am a big dreamer and I have come to accept that I can’t realise all my dreams at once. However, I have also come to realise that I can tackle pretty much any dream -no matter how big it is, if I break it down into manageable steps.

My 2022 dream was to cycle from Darwin to Adelaide. Yep, that’s right; my dream is cycling 3000km straight through the Australian outback. Well not completely straight, I made a detour to go to the most special place in Australia for me, Uluru.

How do you get ready? 

  • equipment (selecting the bicycle & camping gears- yep I plan to sleep in the wild)
  • journey breakdown (mapping out where will I find water and food)
  • when to do it (studying seasons and associated risks)
  • physical preparation (training my body enough to be able to enjoy the journey without damaging it)
  • mental preparation (accepting discomfort and getting very clear about why I do it to have something to hold onto in difficult times)
  • support system (surrounding myself with people that get as excited about this dream as myself)

Why Now? Because I'm part of #TeamHB7

In 2022, I joined the 7th cohort of the Homeward Bound Program after being selected amongst applicants from around the world. Homeward Bound vision is to support and engage a globally diverse network of women, working collaboratively and inclusively to ensure the sustainability of our planet. I am no expert in climate change, my super power resides in the ability to inspire and enable groups of diverse people to tackle complex problems together. The One Dream Down campaign is my contribution to help others feel that If we can dream it, we can do it…
