The Gulf to Gulf Mission

We’re riding Gulf to Gulf to help bridge the poverty gulf among the poor children of Bangladesh. Won't you ride with us from the comfort of your computer and consider making a donation? We're riding from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Spencer Gulf , via the Birdsville Track. Check out the route map at the bottom of the page.

We want to raise $10,000 to fund the education (up to Year 2) for 1 year for 600 children in Bangladesh, who otherwise will miss out on a basic education. Read the donation page for all the details -- we would really appreciate your support. This project is administered by TEAR Australia in association with Symbiosis International.

Spot the difference

Yes, yes, one is green and one is white. Yes, one is the the flag of Bangladesh and one is the flag of Japan. They both sport rising suns, but Bangladesh's also represents the sacrifices required for independence, obtained in 1971. But why is the Bangladesh sun shifted slightly to the "hoist-side" of centre, as they say in the flag flying business? Supposedly to make it appear in the centre of the flag when atop a flagpole.
