Andy reaches WA border after year on the road

Key points

  • Andy has reached the Western Australian border on his Walk Against Gambling, after more than a year and 4700 km since leaving Coffs Harbour. Resting at a roadhouse on the edge of the Nullarbor, he described the lonely stretches of the Eyre Highway, where he pulls his heavily loaded cart off the road for every passing vehicle.
  • Drivers regularly stop to offer support and donations to Lifeline, which has raised $20,000.
  • Andy says conversations along the way have helped him reach people affected by gambling harm, and he is now planning a campaign called No Bet November.
