Huge crowds turned out to welcome Brockmann at Bondi Beach.

It took Brockmann 47 days to cover the almost 2,500 miles between Perth and Sydney.

Brockmann puts it differently. “I think 70-80% of it was like: we’re in the depths of hell,” he says, “and 20% of it was pretty okay.” Brockmann has arrived in Bondi after spending 46 days running nearly 4,000km across Australia to raise money for the homeless.
