Cyclists appeal for emergency shelter

Two British cyclists have travelled through Ettalong as part of a 16,000km ride to raise money for the Rotary disaster relief ShelterBox project.

Husband and wife Huw and Carolyn Thomas arrived in Brisbane in early March, and visited the Peninsula on April 10 as a part of their trip to Sydney.

The couple have already taken the ride through countries such as Canada, America and New Zealand.

The ShelterBox project provide emergency shelter for disaster relief worldwide.

Each shelter box comes with a 10-person tent with dividing walls for privacy.

They have a stove and cookware, water purification tablets, thermal fleece blankets, waterproof groundsheets, mosquito nets, collapsible water containers, a toolkit and children's activity packs.
