For those who are interested in the incredible accuracy of the Spider Tracks, I suggest you look on the last reading for 26 August 2008. You will see exactly where we parked on the Opera House forecourt.
The two previous readings show where we drove under the Harbour Bridge – between Hickson Road and Campbells Cove.
Total today 41 kms 40,361 kms since Anchorage, Alaska
