Bonnie Hancock on her world-record breaking circumnavigation around Australia. (image supplied)

Our guest Bonnie Hancock decided during Covid that she wanted to circumnavigate mainland Australia on an ocean surf ski and beat the current world record. That decision, with the logistical, physical and environmental challenges it involved, would push the professional athlete to her limits.

It was a remarkable journey of perseverance and determination, now told in her new book ‘The Girl Who Touched The Stars’.

Guest: Bonnie Hancock, athlete and author.
