For those of you who like antique cars as well as travel and adventure, you might find the Melbourne to Moscow challenge interesting.
Departing from Melbourne, Australia on the 4th of September 2011 an almost 100 year old car with myself at the wheel, will set off for Moscow, Russia via Africa and the Middle East; an almost 20000km journey passing through four continents.
The purpose of the journey is to mark the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Australia and Russia as well as to commemorate the 100th anniversary of two epic motoring journeys.
