David Cornthwaite is completing his 3,600-mile journey in Brisbane.., having started his journey in Perth, in August.

David is a 27 year old graphic designer, he started skateboarding two years ago, and decided to start his journey after waking up one morning and realising he hated his job.

He told: "I thought, the only thing keeping me going is the skate to and from work. I saw a Lonely Planet guide to Australia. There was a map on the back. Perth was on one side and Brisbane on the other and I thought, 'that'll do'."

He had a real adventure..he had been blown off his board by the backdraft from huge road trains, had to swerve around huge snakes and had a race with an emu.

When he will finish his journey Mr Cornthwaite plans to write a book. "I'm certainly not going back to the day job"
