Kindness of strangers helps man complete gruelling 74-day charity trek from Melbourne to Brisbane

A Melbourne man has walked and run the equivalent of 56 marathons from Melbourne to Brisbane for charity, fuelled by service station meat pies, raw veggies, and the kindness of strangers.

Domenic Moore, 27, has completed a gruelling 74-day journey from Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station to Brisbane’s South Bank, racking up daily steps that would put your 10,000 to shame.

“One morning I just woke up … and I just had this dream of walking from Melbourne to Brisbane,” Domenic told ABC Radio Brisbane.

“And as soon as I stood up I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do that’.

Six weeks later, on November 26, Domenic was off and running, armed with only a backpack of supplies.

“The whole challenge for me was to do this unsupported.”
