Melbourne: Tom Drorie, 28, is keen on skating and has now skated 4,000km off the coast of Australia in the scorching heat.Tom began his journey from Melbourne to Cairns on a four-wheeled board in October 2020. Initially, his friends and family called it impossible. Thus, on the third day, Tom was overwhelmed by heat, fatigue and frustration, and his body began to look like boils. At one point he felt he had made a big mistake

He has worked in diamond mines for many kilometers before and is very brave and hardworking. Tom told himself that it would be difficult at first but gradually he would get used to this difficult journey, and it so happened that due to his strong nerves he became accustomed to skating for many hours in a day in the scorching sun.There were snakes in his path and he trampled on poisonous snakes four times throughout the journey. Twice he fell and three times he was hit hard. Police chased him five times and he suffered six heatstrokes. But on average, they managed to travel 50 to 100 kilometers a day. However, he was alone in March. They shuddered at the sight of the sun, and wept for a long time.
