You are bicycling the Tanami Track from the Aboriginal community of Yuendumu to the cattle station (ranch) of Moolooloo. Locate these two places on a map.

The distance is approximately 330 kilometres. Convert the kilometres to miles by multiplying the distance by 0.62. How many miles did you travel? What towns near where you live are that distance from each other?

According to the map, are there services available if you should be in need of supplies? How does this affect your travel plans?

Plan a trip in which your direction and distance of travel challenge you to plan carefully. Consider how much water and food you will need, the distance between supply stops and the length of time it will take to travel. Also consider the type of terrain you will be crossing. Smooth, flat surfaces are not as challenging as rough, hilly ones!
